The boss is on holidays at the moment, so I borrowed a couple of huge catalogs from his little library today. Full of all the gadgets and gizmos you guys being talking about. But its not making it any easier for me unfortunately. Fraid you just have to design it yorself - just remember to try to keep it so that it is one step from the sink to the stove to the bench to the ink (ie they make a triangle of about 1m sides) Aside from that just make some judgement calls on what makes sense to you and see what the reaction from the missus is.
I'll just try and keep it simple. My main concern is for my wifes weak back (and she doesn't bend her knees!)....So, I'll try and get her to agree to wall storage as much as possible. And the idea behind not having deep cubboards I like especially, so you can see everything and don't have to dig. Its all going to be dictated by how much I can spend anyhow.
Having said that, I reakon these things look clever. Thin tower thingo, to hold the commonly used stuff. Can see her liking that. We decided on them and they work really well, even if they are a bit exxy.
