More Kitchen Alternatives
The best way to gain cabinet space in a kitchen is to do a complete remodel. This would require the demolition of walls and pushing them back to gain a larger space, lots of hard work and a big mess. It would also cost a lot of money.) If you go this rout be sure the wall(s) you remove are not weight bearing.
Another alternative is to go up. The upper cabinets nearly always sit at least 12 inches below the ceiling. This is for a house with 8 feet high ceilings. If your house has higher ceilings then you can add even more cabinet space above the upper cabinets.
Even though there should be 12 inches above the upper cabinets, sometimes there will not be quite enough room to get an extra 12 inches above them. If this is the case, then removal of the upper cabinets is imminent. Take them down and put the upper cabinets against the ceiling, then reinstall the upper cabinets.
Another alternative is to buy portable carts which have drawers and/or shelves to put items into.
One more alternative that I can think of is to build a pantry. Keep in mind the space that you have to use. Also anytime you build anything you will make a mess. Building inside is always a messy job.

Welcome to the Today.com community. I am happy to see you here as well as Hubpages. I know you will like it here. You do remodeling so well. I would like to know where I can get me one of those widgets like the one you have here. Does it update automatically and will keep all of your Hubs or what?
Go to your profile page on HubPages. On the right side just below the box where it says about GodsChild, you will see another box. Click where it says add GodsChild’s widget to your website. It will open up a page and show you what to copy and paste into your site. It updates automatically when you publish a new hub. It will only show the last 4 hubs to my knowledge. There is a drop down menu that you can change to show the best, etc. . . but I believe it still only shows 4.
