calzephyrLOL this is what gets one excited in middle-age--glide-out ShelfGenie drawers so you don't have to bend or reach so far ;-D
We have three of them now and I'm undecided about getting another one yet. The rice cooker, crockpost, and bamboo steamer all have a home now where they should be--under the counter by the stove.
Part of what made this possible was getting rid of some kitchen things that I haven't used in a long time, like a vegetable mandolin, ice cube trays, cups (SO MANY CUPS. NOBODY GIFT ME CUPS OR MUGS.). Switching a few things around made the space more efficient and that included banishing the rest of the mugs and cups to the cupboard above the fridge.
One of the bonuses of the glide-out drawer is that you can stand up all your water bottles and tall cups, so those are now by the sink. It's possible to get three glide-outs in one cupboard, so I'll think about that other cupboard.
The junk truck, which also takes donations, is scheduled for next week. I think it's progress that each time I book them that there's less to get rid of. This time they'll be taking old paint, an old radiator my FIL gave us, some old blinds that are too long for the garbage cart and a big box of donations. Somehow we'd acquired seven sets of bedding and you know...one can go and be enjoyed by someone that needs it more :-)
