Also, any advice on a linen closet would be appreciated also. I'm cleaning mine out, getting rid of unused linens and trying to figure out what to do with those comforter that are no longer used, but kept because they are great when you make have slumber parties and outside things.

THANKS!

24" deep is sort of awkward to store small things in--actually, even most big things. It's so deep.

If you could sent alittle bit, and can run a drill, you might consider getting several pull-out shelves (full-extension, pls! don't torture yourself), and spacing them pretty closely, for stuff like canned goods (my personal dream is to lay them on their sides).ShelvesThatSlide.com has a good reputation on the Kitchens forum, and they have a really great set of instructions for measuring, installing, etc.

I also would put a slide-out shelf on the very bottom of the pantry bcs the back part of that shelf would be nearly inaccessible.

(speaking of asking a different group of people--have you asked over at Kitchens?

Have you ever compared how many cans you can fit on a shelf with the cansolidator, versus if you just stacked the cans in the same amount of space taken up by the cansolidator? I'm asking because I've looked at the cansolidator before, but hesitated to get them because I figured I could probably fit more cans in the same amount of space without them. My pantry space is fairly limited, so that has to be a consideration for me. I do like the way they automatically rotate from oldest to newest, though.
