Snoop!

Ok, not really, cause I'm posting the pictures.
I've had several folks come to check out the house and they ooh and ahh appropriately. But few bravely open, or ask to open, the cupboards and frankly that's my favorite part! Art got a few more things installed the last few weeks and I am officially completely unpacked. (except for the missing 9x13 pan, where is that thing??)
 Fancy sliding roll-outs for the food pantry...
 Dedicated baking roll-outs, I still need a couple of organizational boxes, but haven't found the perfect - affordable- ones yet.

 Pan storage and can pantry - cans and pans - it just makes sense. I feel as though I need more baking pans, it looks so sparse. Others (Art) might disagree.
 Down below are pull out garbage, recycling and dog food. Can I just say that I love having all my dog food (an entire Costco bag fits) in one rolling location, it makes life so much easier!
 Big pan storage in the pan garage...
 Office station; still needs some organizational features. Notice the perfect fitting step stool in the bottom cupboard, it's essential - hidden - and necessary in a full height kitchen.
 That is so much storage! One day I calculated the cubic footage and we determined we have more storage on one wall that in my whole old kitchen!
 Drawers - soft close - it's awesome. Even Grandpa-Great was impressed by soft close. Art is building me the peg system to hold the plate and bowl stacks so they don't slide, but it's pretty amazing already.
 The few 'uppers' we have...
 Our very fancy pull out pot and spice rack.
 Yep, the bottom two rows are all sprinkles. It's an obsession. I blame my mother.
 Susans

 One for 'metals' - like pans, metal bowls, colander, etc. The other for plastic and glass. yes, this is a very odd way to organize, and I'm not sure it's the best. But when I'm sorting bowls I like to choose the type by material so it just seemed like they should be organized by material. I'm weird.
 Sink cabinet! This was the last to get doors and trim, it was tricky. Not sure why I didn't take an open picture - maybe because it's where I keep all my top secret stuff - maybe because I'm pregnant and after taking 15 pictures with the doors open, I forgot.
And that's my kitchen!! HOORAY! Did you look carefully and notice there is still a top cupboard full of tools? I would worry, but I don't know what I'm going to put in there. I really want a food processor, and I think it's because I now have a place for it. We actually have three cupboards that are nearly empty. We're debating shelves but haven't decided so they sit empty, or keep tools - cause everyone needs a chisel set in the kitchen.
