The Frankencabinet
One 18" IKEA cabinet, containing an ironing board, two kinds of baking sheet holders, a basket drawer, and another pull-out. It took a hacksaw and a Dremel to make it all fit (the pull-out, which was $5 in the As Is department, has been customized to fit this arrangement), but it's all there and works nicely!
Bungalow kitchens were all about interesting built-in storage solutions, so although this is modern, it's very much in keeping with traditional bungalow functionality.
This is the only base cabinet in our kitchen that is a traditional cabinet -- that is, not a set of drawers. (Well, except for the sink cab.) Drawers everywhere else, yay! But I really didn't want stuff to end up piled in the back of the cab like in my old kitchen (where the cookie sheets and baking pans were haphazardly piled and usually required me to remove half of them to find the one I was looking for), so hopefully this design will prevent much of that. Also, built-in fixtures are neat.
