What are the things you can't live without in your kitchen??

[BeccaL]

A friend of mine had drawers put into the bit where the kickboards go, so basically shallow in height but the depth of the unit. She swears by these for tupperware, cling film, foil, etc - and I wish we'd known about them when we'd done our kitchen. Really good use of otherwise wasted space. I think hers came from Howdens...

Yep, exactly. this time last year we were planning a huge refurb, having bought an almost uninhabitable "project" and really needed tips, I got loads of ideas (including money-saving tips) from here among other places so just wanted to pay some of that back really. I've never "done" a new kitchen before and sincerely hope I don't have to again, it's a big big expense and nobody would say otherwise - but all the more reason to seek advice from others who have recently done it.
