Hi,

  You might check out Merillat - www.merillat.com - they have some great designs
that could be adapted to base cabinet considerations only. You might consider a
few short pantries instead of the floor to ceiling type. They have some great
ideas for storing pots and pans, and also a cupboard space outfitted with a tray
that lifts out and up to lock in place - for a mixing bowl, as example. I'm
window shopping, as you can tell :)

Cheers!
