I suggest getting everything that you can onto the walls, a la the Shakers...And she had a message pad/organzer on the side of the fridge. You can get drawer subdividers in IKEA I think, to make the most of drawer space (or somewhere else if you have no IKEA) This sounds like the kitchen my mom had in NYC – she put her pots and pans on a pegboard on the wall, and had shelves for spices.

I have a corridor kitchen and it is just too small. I would give anything for a pantry cupboard. It is so hard to cook in a kitchen that is not very functional.

If it's the former, I recall that you have a big laundry room - could you use that to store some of the kitchen stuff that you don't use daily? Also, get cabinet dividers. They can double your space. http://www.containerstore.com/browse/index.jhtml?CATID=184 If it's the latter, do you have enough floor space for a basic kitchen cart? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=280211-75152-81515&lpage=none Is the problem not enough storage space or not enough counter space?
