a pull-out is always good for a narrow space.

I don't have anything in them yet, b/c it's under construction, but we have a full height pullout pantry that's 12" wide. It's all the way to the right.

Those pull out spice racks are great - I would have loved to have them - they tuck in nicely between base cabinets. where are you running into the problem? I've seen those in ideabooks on either side of the sink base, or on islands - sometimes they have decorative panels - very nice.

Not a great pic but does show off function/form
This is to the right of DW -1st thing in the kit fr. back entrance - 14" it may be the most used space in the kitchen -

good luck

I have a couple of 15" cabs. My favorite is next to the sink base at right angle to my peninsula, my husband modified the bottom pullout so it would hold my Kitchenaid mixer, the upper pullout holds the attachments and measuring cups/spoons and rolling pin. Drawer above is disguised as my junk drawer!

:) hope this helps

other side of the sink is a 15" bank of four drawers: baggies/foil in top, second drawer holds my spice jars, third is cutting boards, fourth (largest) extra dish towels, mandolin cutter, extra pot holders...

I'm not sure if I have a photo I can upload, but the sides of my breakfast/coffee hutch are 15" cabinets. The uppers are 15" deep with glass fronts and hold glassware. Below them I have 15x15 drawers that go to the counter. They hold napkins, trivets, vitamins and prescriptions, teas and bar/wine gadgets. The bases are drawers and hold flatware, peanut butter/bread/sandwich stuff, lunch snacks, breakfast cereal, coffee and other stuff. One of the top base drawers holds my laptop. DH questioned how we would use the drawers, but they've really been very useful.

I'd really rather not do a pullout. I only have three base cabinets plus a corner in this kitchen.

I am having trouble with the darn corner. My options are A) 16" drawers, 36" bifold corner, range, 26" drawers, B) 21" drawers, 39" blind corner with 12" opening (15" cabinet), range, 23" drawers, or C) 21" drawers, (empty space in the corner), 15" drawers, range, 23" drawers. I was planning on option B, but cabinet man #2 thinks that I won't be able to reach anything in that blind corner, and would rather do option A. Cabinet men #3 & #4 think its fine to do option B. Cabinet man #1 is still getting back to me. I'd like to use cabinet man #2 based on previous work and price, but if he's not going to do it the way I want it, then previous work and price don't really matter.

Because these are custom, the numbers don't have to be common sizes... in option B, for example, I can go with a 39" blind cabinet with a 14" opening and a 17" cabinet and then have a 21" set of drawers, if you think that's better. I hope that all makes sense. Its a very small kitchen and I am trying to use every inch of space.

I'm at a loss. If this kitchen was about 6" wider, I'd be perfect.

Thanks for all the help!

I have two 15" cabinets - both uppers. One is over my dishwasher, next to the 30" cabinet over my sink. I use it to store glasses.

The other is only 5" deep, in the corner of my kitchen. (There's a concrete beam behind it, which is why it had to be reduced depth to match up with the cabinets next to it.) It's right opposite my stove, and it makes a great spice cabinet!

I have a bank of drawers next to sink. It houses everyday silverware in top drawer, dish towels and pot hoders in the second and tupperware bowls in the bottom one. It is very useful.

I have 2 12" base cabinets, and they are very handy.

This cabinet holds my largish collection of cutting boards and baking sheets. The top drawer is a junk drawer for food-related items.

And this cabinet holds phone books, aluminum foil, trash can liners, etc. The top drawer is the other junk drawer for non-food-related items (Box Tops for Education that I still save, cel phone chargers, etc).

I have a 12" drawer bank next to my rangetop that holds utensils, plastic wrap, ziplocs etc, and pot lids in the bottom deep drawer.
