Oh how I wish I could do this in our kitchen! We have original 1950's metal cabinets. Not possible to attach drawer slides to either the sides or the shelf, as any attachment hardware will stick out right through the steel. And our lower cabinets are all small deep dark caverns, which would be so very much improved with roll out access...

Very lovely, but over $54,000

for almost all of the uses you mentioned, I simply place a saucer or a plate (whatever is appropriate in size ) on top of the bowl or the container...no need for any kind of extra product

How about asking the boys what color they would like it to be?...doesn't have to be anything other than a house, men live in houses as much as women do...

The best pickled ginger I had was colored pink with the leaves of the red shiso plant, the same one that gives umeboshi plums their red color. I steeped some of the leves in rice vinegar, and if ever the grocery gets in some young ginger, I'm going to make some.

I don't understand the problem with having a mirror over the stove - to me it seems lovely to be able look up and see reflected in the mirror the scene outdoors. While their kitchen is bigger than any room in my house, it doesn't seem impractical, even if it is not my style.

And why are people always saying that anything over the stove will be dirty immediately? I don't think I am a particularly "tidy "cook; I have framed pictures over our stove, and while I do need to clean the glass a few times a year, they aren't covered in splattered food and grease - and yes, dinner is cooked on that stove every day, and breakfast too.

Jose A, and anyone else who is interested, the design was published in Nomadic Furniture by Victor Papanek and Jim Hennesey in 1973. The book is full of wonderful DIY projects, and thinking about design; it seems to be readily available used from online sellers
