Most of my kitchen stuff is jammed into my small kitchen. We put two Ikea shelving units in the kitchen to help. A bit of overflow is in the basement, as is the chest freezer.
I store my Christmas china (Spode) and my china in dish "holders" and those are in drawers under the window seat. I have to restrict how many sets of dishes I have (5) because my mom has 6 sets and I'll end up with a couple of those someday...I guess.I have a pantry that is full and smaller closet with shelves that housed a portable dish washer at one time. We call that one "The bad kid closet" since we joke with the kids about being locked in there. I also store entertaining dishes in another closet lined with shelves. I could still use more space!
Steve--I gather you are out of the "he/she with the most toys wins" contest? $20,000 is the prize (or so I heard). I can't find the link right now...I'm in contention , and I think Dawglover is right up there with me...Last year, we did a major cleaning/decluttering. Bread machine, magic bullet, smoothie maker, and all the other junk DW thought was a necessity at one time is now gone. The only gadgets I have on the counter are the espresso machine and food processor. The only things we store that aren't in the kitchen are a couple of electric roasters and a chafing dish, and I keep those on a metal shelf in the basement.

No, I'm definitely not a gadget guy when it comes to kitchen stuff (home entertainment is another story, though). I'm always trying to give things away. If you need extra stuff to help you win, let me know. I'll be happy to donate to the cause.Steve--I gather you are out of the "he/she with the most toys wins" contest? $20,000 is the prize (or so I heard).

I'm threatening to put a 2nd kitchen in the basement...but I get so tired of running up and down the stairs...my dream house would be mostly kitchen...since that's where I seem to spend all of my time when I'm not with the chickens or at my desk....Oh, that's right, Charlie, you keep a Kosher kitchen, doubles.
My dream house is a kitchen with a bath attached...I guess a cubby for sleeping.
My wifes family in Maine have a small bathroom right off the dining room table which is full of people the entire time the famiy visits. After the 3rd or 4th time she interupted me while contemplating the meaning of life. I threatened to drive back to the by myself and fly home to CA by myself.
I could have sat in on a game of poker the bathroom is so close. NEVER DO I WANT A BATH OFF THE KITCHEN!
