I'm talking about the butler door (swings in both directions) you mentioned....is that what it is called???? It currently has a doorknob/handle on both doors and both doors opens ONLY into the sunroom. From the kitchen it is not too difficult to push it open, but then you have to close them by matching the doors together and closing. Like I say...a pain in the neck if you are entering the room with food or snacks like we often do to watch TV. (We use our sunroom as a famly room.) Also, I'm figuring the dogs would soon learn how to push the door open and then it would close on its own without one of us getting up to close them. Thanks for replying.....

Thanks for the thoughts and comments so far. From the pictures, if you are interested in the items shown, it looks like you have enough room for a pullout. Are you sure you don't? What I am trying to do is to put the trash on one side, and recycling on the other. Here is a picture of my setup (during construction): I chose a sink with a right rear drain to provide enough room for a trash can in front. This works, i.e., I currently have a standalone trash can sitting between the GD and the door. I also have enough room for either the RAS or the Haefele swing-out units. I just don't know how well they work or if they work with plastic bags. A slightly different question: Let's say I give up on this idea and use the left part of my base for trash, and put in a pull-out as Numbersjunkie suggested. Are there pull-outs with integrated lids?

He is 100% correct.

I would have no problem with the base you want to use being paired with the door casings that you have. The bevel on the base is complimentary to the door casings. Remember: some homes have a certain character. Leaving a bit of that character in place while updating other areas is perfectly fine. The Europeans do it all the time. Apartments in Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Milan, etc all have these types of concerns. They have updated elements (like kitchens and flooring) while other parts are simply left alone (like doors and casings). Go ahead and do what you are planning on doing. If it looks good to you, then you know you are fine. If you feel an eternal itch to change the door casings (like after a year or two) then go ahead and change them out. You have to deal with the consequences regardless. I would push through your planned renovations and ignore what you cannot fix/change. I can guarantee that in 6 months you won't even remember you questioned the look.
