That's a tough one ! I'm in the midst of DE-CLUTTERING my house -- and I found a bunch of orphan lids. I let them sit around a day or 2 just to look at them and try to think of something. I gave up . I was blank - other than cut shapes out of the plastic or make stencils out of them . Mine ended up being recycled . Maybe someone else can help you . Good luck!

Can't remember who but there is a photo posted of a pot rack running across an upper cabinet -- basically a hanging rod across the top with hooks for hanging pots. I have a flat lazy susan in the upper cabinet next to my cook top that has most of oils and vinegars. There is space on either side for a row of bottles. I came to hate those things for spices and small things that get lost in the center, but with taller bottles, it works well. The most efficient spice storage I have found is a drawer with upright bottles. I have 110 bottles in a 24" drawer. I have some rubs and baking items in the cabinet above -- using one of those riser things and another lazy susan for baking decorations. I have always put foils and wraps in a drawer or lower space -- they are going to be longer than the depth of an upper cabient unless you have 24" deep space. My hot pads are also in a drawer next to my ovens.

My husband uses a desk wheeled chair in the house when he is not in his recliner. This roller chair allows him to get to the kitchen for snacks bathroom, and etc. By his recliner is a floor lamp, a table with shelf underneath for books, magazines and earphones. Works well for him because he cannot walk without a walker or stand for any length of time.

That's a small amount of space. Get a bed with built-in storage drawers on the bottom and a slim armoire with drawers. Check Craigslist and make sure your measurements of anything you add will fit. Everything else should go on the walls--lamp, small bedside shelf, book shelves (though shelves you have could be used as a divider/bedside table.) You really have to give people photos of all four walls.
