I would like a built in screen to use with compost or worm castings. I would put a container underneath to capture the sifted material. This should easily lift out for cleaning. That would be on one end. On the other end of a long table, I would want a sink with a sprayer. I would also want a shelf above the main work area with cup hooks for having my tools within easy reach. I would not include garden tools as that is a very personal thing, everybody has their own favorites. I think the power strip is an awesome idea. Now, my creative juices are running but too bad I have far too many things to do this year.

The answer is Chrysler Imperial, parent to both, and can be grown in a pot as it doesn't get as tall as Mr. Lincoln while it blooms and is more vigorous then Oklahoma. Good cut flower, more disease resistant to B.S. here then MI, and if your original intent is fragrance, it is superb (which was how it was passed on to it's children). Canes are not "too thick" by anyones definition....For your consideration at least. I consider it superior to the other two listed, but that's just my opinion and experience.......Maryl

Who, from your experience, ships the cheapest plastic pots? What other cheap alternatives (and suppliers for them) can you suggest? I wasn't able to find large pots that would cost less than $1 (if lucky). I've read some pay $50. Never seen it. Thank you.

mtndredux- Thanks for urging me to go with what I love. Tonight I'll search for European villas for additional inspiration. The scale may be smaller, too. antiquesilver- Thanks for posting your kitchen photo. What a clever location! johnliu- You're right. You can't hang just any old pans up there. I've already starting looking for new pans! bmorepanic- We wonÂt store lots of pots/pans on the wall. ThereÂs just the two of us and we have about 5 "go to" pans that we use frequently (several times a week). We have 2-3 larger pans that we use for larger weekend meals, but they should fit on the wall rack. IÂll measure before deciding on the length of the rack. The larger pots (e.g., stock pots, roasters) are used when we have large parties and during the holidays. They will not be on display. WeÂll store those pots in the pantry we decided not to enclose. (The layout is little deceptive- the wall on the upper left on the side of the hallway is not solid. The door leads to a good sized walk-in pantry). We will also keep our small appliances in this pantry. So IÂm comfortable with the idea that this wonÂt be my only pot/pan storage solution but just for my usual ones. So IÂve taken the plunge and spent most of the morning revising the layout to see if this will work. If I center the range on the wall, there are 42" on either side of it. The question is does this leave enough room for a prep sink. DH loves the having a sink close to the range (I do, too), but based on lots of reading about space between the prep sink and the range, I donÂt know if we have the counter space anymore and maintain the symmetry on the bottom cabs. IÂd like a 15" prep sink. WeÂre going with custom cabinetry so I have flexibility about the size of the cabs but IÂm stuck at how to have a prep sink and keep the symmetry. Just a recap from the previous thread: This is a 105 year old Italianate that also has a butlerÂs pantry, mudroom and formal dining room. ThereÂs plenty of storage and the number one goal for this remodel is improving the kitchenÂs overall functionality. Any suggestions on the revised layout and the wall rack are appreciated.
