fwiw, here's our pantry. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but maybe seeing examples of can storage is helpful. Our roll outs are rated for 100 #. Our cabinet is 36" wide but it's inset so the rollouts boxes are only about 26" wide. We have drawers in the bottom section--they are great for bagged items and pasta boxes. Our upper shelves are deep and I keep unopened boxes of cereals and crackers behind the opened boxes. Our canned items are organized so that items in the same category are grouped together...beans, soups, fruits, tomatoes, veggies. Duplicate cans are stacked on top of each other--that way I know what's in the bottom can even if I can't see the label. Cans falling off haven't been a problem. It happens rarely (maybe 6 times over 5 1/2 years), but when it does, retrieving the can isn't a problem. Only perimeter cans have fallen off--so one easy solution would be to not stack the cans around the edges of the box (or only stacking ones that seat well together.) Honeychurch's cans aren't packed in which makes reading the labels easy. If I had cans on a lower roll out I would probably have to label the tops with a Sharpie so that I could identify them when looking down on them. I would love to get into the habit of dating cans so that I would use the oldest first. Having more incentive to pick up a Sharpie would be a helpful thing for me. I love having a kitchen with a variety of storage options. Good luck!

Franksmom, thanks for the tip on mixing styles. I hadn't heard that rule but it does fit in with the approach I am taking. There are multiple pieces I could have kept but I don't want MCM for MCM's sake. I want a very few select pieces that echo the era in which the house was built-- it is surely not by coincidence that the style and size of MCM furniture fits the size and scale of the rooms. I want to take advantage of what works best while bringing in some great design. I have been on the search for a few chairs to recover and for a dining table. I don't necessarily need "designer names" but I am seeing that the designer names have the lines and wood tones that really speak to me. If that means waiting a little longer for the stunning pieces that make a statement and set the tone, then I'll wait. The wood is very nice on the dresser-- much nicer than it looks in the photo. I think it will be fine in the LR. I will definitely remove/store the mirror. I do hope to replace the sofa sooner rather than later. I won't likely go with a very MCM style. I imagine a comfy sofa with square lines.. I'd love a velvet but budget is a concern at the moment. I am tempted by a velvet chesterfield sofa but much as I loooove it, it doesn't fit will with my plan.. well, at least not until I change it again! lol I know someone mentioned that the rug doesn't work at all. I do plan to replace that as well but I am just not clear on what I want on the floor. I have been leaning towards a pattern of grays and golds but I hesitate to start to narrowing down selections until I have everything in the room (and the walls painted, etc). I am open to suggestions though if someone has an idea of a pattern that straddles mcm and traditional. Thank you all .. I have put away the paint brush (for now).

Yep. Half my furniture is on stilettos! Also have a nelsonesque bench and a pedestal table though. I went classy 50s-60s with the lighting and they are brass, aluminum and white skinny and sculptural to go with early 60s Danish Modern for the most part. Since MC covers 40s-70s go with the color scheme you prefer. I am stuck with red tile and natural stone so those are my jumping off points. Drapes. I had taken down the perfect MC window treatment to gain a couple inches of wall years ago - wall to wall floor to ceiling in the same color as the walls. Tried replacing the country clutter's balloon shade with a straight edged roman blind but it wasn't quite right. Back to wall to wall floor to ceiling! I started with a Danish Modern buffet but it wasn't until I finally found an appropriate sofa that things really came together so agree about starting with a sofa.

I should add, we salvaged (I think - it's in storage) from the flood water, an antique danish teak dining table and hutch. The teak is very close, in proximity, to the cherry counter. I don't need to match the door stain to either the teak or the cherry, but it should have a feel of consistency throughout the house I would think. I am leaning toward the top row, far left. I don't want anything too dark, just dark enough to provide some contrast. Thank you!!!!!!
