Another idea: get some of those Sterilite plastic drawers, and stack them on one side of the closet. That'll "partition off" one small section to be for cleaning supplies. And a drawer will help you access the deepness of the storage space, bcs it'll pull things forward. The one drawback to those is that they're sort of short; most bottles won't fit in them standing up. But there are taller versions. Or, try this "laundry tower" concept--a tall, skinny cabinet w/ compartments; it would interrupt the shelf and hanging bar, so maybe not the best. http://www.improvementscatalog.com/imp/290307?cm_mmc=GooglePLA--LaundryRoom--2014-_-437559&mr:trackingCode=0B124480-8F0B-E311-9612-001B21BCC0BC&mr:referralID=NA&mr:filter=98946355732&intlShippingCtx=US%7CUSD&code-macs=MP4XW091&mr:ad=43916408932&mr:device=c&mr:match=&SourceCode=MP4XW091&mr:adType=pla&mr:keyword=&redirect=y But this sort of cabinet, designed to go between washer and dryer, might be great (this one isn't available anymore, but this is the general idea). The drawers are tall enough for bottles, and it's skinny and short. http://www.lowes.com/pd_172508-46-WVP5000SQ_4294857913+8+4294965476_?productId=1043069 http://www.shopgetorganized.com/item/WICKER_BETWEEN_WASHER_DRYER_DRAWERS/24415?src=GOSHPZLA&utm_source=shopzilla&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=24415&close_prompt=1 My favorite idea is the kinds of unit w/ different heights of drawers--IF the largest drawer is tall enough. http://www.target.com/p/sterilite-5-drawer-storage-cart/-/A-13794467#prodSlot=medium_5_9&term=drawer Because some things are tall and some are short, and tall drawers are really bad for little things. http://www.amazon.com/SEI-Iron-Wicker-Five-Drawer/dp/B000X09XGE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_op_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0X75NQ44TWHDJY5ME354 Even a filing cabinet could work. http://www.target.com/p/hirsh-3-drawer-file-cabinet-steel/-/A-14796066#prodSlot=medium_2_23&term=drawer This one looks really good--that bottom drawer is as tall as a file drawer, so maybe it would hold cleaning bottles standing upright. http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProduct.html?id=677&view=0&picture=1&tab=Uses&ProductCategory=188&section=1 This one is nice and narrow--but I don't know how tall the drawers are; they look kind of short. http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProduct.html?id=405&view=0&picture=1&tab=Uses&ProductCategory=187&section=1 This one also, I'm not sure how tall the drawers are. http://www.sterilite.com/SelectProduct.html?id=406&view=0&picture=1&tab=Uses&ProductCategory=187&section=1 Then again, you could just store the tall bottles in a caddy on top. HOWEVER, and this might be true always anyway--you should probably store -only- one bottle of what you truly use. The extras should go somewhere else, like in the garage or under the sink, if at all possible. (Or if you're like me and live in an apt., don't buy extras--practice "just-in-time inventory.") If you got something like this, you could just take out one drawer to make the drawer below it taller (and you could access it more easily as well); I've done that w/ a shallow drawer unit. Because I *think* this one doesn't have bars across the front, just supports along the sides. http://www.amazon.com/4D-Concepts-Corner-Clear-Silver/dp/B0006TXDSG/ref=sr_1_2?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1413299007&sr=1-2&keywords=utility+drawers And you could set your "daily use" caddy on the top of such a drawer unit; it'd be handy to grab the caddy itself, or just the window cleaner/whatever. Because the caddy would work as an organizer that would keep your most-used items from falling over. And you might be able to put -all- the cleaning solutions in the caddy, which would ease the pressure on having a tall drawer. There are lots of carts for this space, but you have to pull the whole cart out instead of just a drawer. But it's an idea--you could put it on the open side of the closet, and pull it out to get to stuff. And hang shorter jackets above it.

If I understand correctly, your current 48" wide pantry has 16" deep shelves, but the new 36" wide pantry would have full-depth (24") roll-out shelves? I currently have a 24" wide x 24" deep pantry w/ roll out shelves. Although you may well be able to fit the same amount of foodstuffs in the new one, I find that I struggle WAY more trying to keep my pantry organized--MUCH more so than when I had a walk-in closet w/ 14" deep shelves. Yes, I can fill this deeper one very full, BUT I CAN'T SEE WHAT'S IN IT EASILY!! In my former house/pantry, I knew-and could see--for example, that I had 4 cans of green beans (lined up from front to back of shelf). And next to that was a row w/ only 2 cans of corn. Ok, time to buy more corn. It was SO much easier to organize and stay organized w/ the shallow depth pantry. But in my current, deep one, the corn may have to be placed farther back, behind the green beans, to begin w/. Then things get lost and shifted around out of place ALL the time b/c you cannot see at a glance what is in there. The item you're looking for can just get buried by all the other stuff! Never had that problem before--and not planning on having it again, after our planned kitchen remodel at the end of this year--I'm going to have a 6' wide x 15" deep pantry built for that very reason. Can't wait :-)

I was told Shenandoah doesn't have a 12-inch rollout. Odd that they do offer a 9 inch. A 9 is pegged for next to the d/w on the opposite wall. Open shelves are above that now. It seems narrow and hard to see some of the shelves on the rollout but they are adjustable. I might have to remove one. I agree the two drawer upper on the bank might need to go. That's a rolling pin, masher, or a box of saran. I probably can't afford to loose that space. I think I will nix the 2-tier utensil tray which looked so useful, doubling some space up. They are pricey and the shelf depth is so narrow (1-1/4 and 1-1/2). Maybe a luxury in a large kitchen but possibly not so useful as it looks so a waste for someone like me. I don't have a ton of flatware to worry about but lots of miscellaneous tools of various sizes and heights it seems. Mixing bowls, tupperware, larger pots and pans I don't use daily so would probably find comfortable in the closet or possibly a spot on the wall for some pans. Then again, I have to think of resale and make it functional for typical use. It's so hard when the amount of cabinetry is so limited. I haven't been cooking much the last decade but had enjoyed it and was wanting to get more into it again. I expect my needs to change so want to plan for what generally works and to maximize what space there is here and its flexibility. I wish that d/w wall weren't so awkward and could do an upper cabinet without a hitch. Not too sure about that right now.

Hi Ladies, Thank you! Yes, I don't know why they are so hard to read. Originally, I had a PDF but since it had my address on it, I copied it into ppt and then covered up the address and saved as a picture. I tried taking a photo of it with a camera but I didn't think you could see the detail. The hardcopy I have is huge so it won't fit on my scanner. Any other suggestions? Good point about the kids growing up quickly. And thank you for the breakfast ideas. NYC - originally, the KD had drawn them as you had suggested. She had the cabinets under the stove top and the wide drawers on both sides. However, I felt like I wanted my pots/pans to be pullouts right in front and that it looked like I had too many drawers. I will look at her old drawing again. Maybe it's one of those 50/50 things but I might drive her crazy if I change it again. :) So it sounds like it is fine to have the cabinet on the right end just with shelves and the one on the left is a pullout for the corner (we're talking on the wall with the sink) It might be $500 to add the cabinets above the refrigerator but I'll ask. Maybe she can give those to me at cost since we didn't ask for an additional discount on the price she gave us and we upgraded to the maple/plywood.
