We've seen vegetable storage racks in the kitchen before, and we love these simple yet functional drawers and trays. The ones we looked at before are only available in the UK, but here is a source for these in the US!
These racks are designed for storing root vegetables in a root cellar or shed. But we could see these in the kitchen for all-purpose storage as well; picture platters, tools, and canned goods on these! They are relatively inexpensive, too, with 3-drawer to 9-drawer models available.
If we had a little more floor space in the kitchen we would really think about adding one of these to the kitchen; we like their open, simple look and real functionality.

What I wouldn't give for a bigger kitchen and a cellar would be great too!
Oh wow - I look at those and think how perfect they'd be for lots of trays of baked goods... although I might never have the space (in my apartment, and potentially also my stomach for all that baking!).
Now, where on earth can I find those in Australia?!
I was just about to say the same thing- its like a baker's rack but made of wood and much prettier than that boring hard metal.
I love Gardener's Supply! I buy many of my gardening supplies from them. They have a great selection online and great customer service.
There has to be an ikea-hack for this!
