What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen? There is NO cabinet space in the kitchen. I searched the internets to find the chrome shelving in the right dimensions. I didn't want to spend a lot on, in the end I spent around $90. It added just the right amount of storage and display to make the kitchen complete.
Give Alison a THUMBS UP if you think this kitchen belongs in the finals!

What's the story of your kitchen?
I have learned that big meals are difficult with a small kitchen. But not impossible, Christmas dinner for 9, Thanksgiving for 8...it can be done, with one person in the kitchen at a time! Plus the cool kitty pass through is awesome.
What is your favorite meal to cook here?

Where did you end up finding the unit? Thank you!
@ma263: this is the one I purchased (https://www.sevilleclassics.com/products.php?pid=243)
. I wrote that I spent about $90 but it was only $40 plus shipping (came to @ $60) the other $30 I spent came from the dish drainer that fits in the sink...
Thank you! :) I've been searching like mad for one of these.
hehe I love the kitty pass through! :)
I have two metal/wire racks very similar to that to help with our storage issues. Our eat-in kitchen is tiny (literally no counter space, I do all my prep on the kitchen table) so I got a very tall, very skinny wire rack from Lowe's and a giant, long, five shelf one (also from Lowe's) for our storage "closet," a.k.a. a hallway/room between the bathroom and living room with just enough space to the left of the doorways to fit the shelf.
I don't know how I would survive without these shelving units. The only problem? We're looking for a new place and the shelves have to fit in the new place! Lol.
Great way to make a rental kitchen workable. I find that most apt kitchens are made for people who make coffee and microwave frozen meals, and not much else.
I have lots of cabinets, but most of them are above my head, so I'm looking for a good shelving unit that will fit just outside the kitchen entrance. I'm checking out your link as soon as I get off this computer
