Blue Willow, pink depression glass and I have an entire set of reproduction pink that they sold at TG&Y in the early 80s. The Amethyst reproduction that WalMart sold a few years back, clear WhiteHall glasses, enamal ware, especially lids and I use those to decorate the walls. I hang them with industrial strength Velcro, and I slip a nice dish towel( I collect those,too) into the lid handle. I have a yellow enamal ladle I made a floral arrangement and candle in the bowl of and it's hanging from a lid handle. Other enamal and granite and spatterware..some chamber pots on the front porch, a camping set for my laundry room. Old cooking utensils and cookware, I like the yellow, or green or red painted handles. Rolling pins and other long wooden things such as a sausage stuffer Twin gave me,fruit and vegetable crate labels,tins,cookbooks...all that is for the kitchen...there's more I just can't think right now mason jars are another thing..

I should clarify since my remark came across as offensive. Stainless findings attached to sterling handles became a good portion of the norm after WWII. They were quality pieces made that way by the leading silver makers & I wasn't trying to dis them. But within the past 20 years or so since Victorian silver has regained popularity (coinciding with the closing or moving of most of the American silver industry), all types of 'rare' pieces are popping up for the unsuspecting. Some with a one-size-fits-all, generic finding. It's my understanding that stainless wasn't used for knife blades until the 1920's & plated blades continued in use for many years. Therefore, if you find a supposedly rare, turn-of-the-century utensil with a stainless end, it probably isn't period, knives being the exception because the blades were meant to be replaced. If you like it, that's well & good but the piece isn't 100+ years old.

We got two gifts in total. A vacuum cleaner and a pressure cooker. Both most welcome and the pc is still in use. No ’shower’ and only 8 wedding guests. Just parents, siblings and their spouses. DD got married during covid with the permitted 6 guests but a year later we had a party with 100 guests. They requested no gifts, just donations to two charities. The Italian side of the family found this diffcult to grasp and gave a lot of knickknacks they neither want nor need.

"...drawer on each side that is only 6 " wide inside..." Does that mean a 6" wide cabinet or a 9" (or so) cabinet that has a 6" wide drawer inside? Is that 6" the inside drawer width or the entire drawer width (including the drawer sides)? If you have 6" (or 9") on either side of your cooktop cabinet, I would consider one of two things: (1) Getting a 6" (or 9") filler pullout for each side (more on that later) (2a) 9" cabinet: Get a 9" wide tray cabinet. (2b) 6" cabinet: Leave the gap and get a door to cover it to use it as a plain cabinet w/no face frame. You could store a couple of cutting boards or some trays in that space. Maybe put a shelf in the top portion for small items. You would have to "build" a floor for the cabinet, though. With cabinets, you lose anywhere from 1" to 1.5" due to walls for frameless cabinets and 3" to 4" due to the walls & face frames in framed cabinets. If you now add drawers, you then lose the thickness of the drawer boxes' sides (2 sides) as well as the "clearance" space needed for the drawers to clear the walls or face frames. For a 6" cabinet, that's a significant percentage of the space. Even with a 9" cabinet it's quite a bit. Filler pullouts, OTOH, are pullouts that attach to the cabinets on each side of the space (i.e., the side of the cooktop cabinet on one side and another cabinet on the other side). They have no cabinet walls or face-frames of their own. This maximizes the amount of usable space. Filler pullouts come in a variety of configurations. They can be spice pullouts (be sure the shelves are adjustable if you go this route), they can be pegboards for hanging pot&pan covers/utensils/etc., or they can be magnetic boards. Base cabinet filler pullouts have the most options...ranging in width from 3" to 9". Upper cabinet filler pullouts only come in 3" & 6" widths. I've linked to Rev-A-Shelf's base cabinet filler pullouts below so you can check out your options. BTW...don't buy them from RAS directly...the last time I looked, they were far cheaper elsewhere! I have double ovens, a MW w/"Keep Warm", and a 30" WD...and I use all of them frequently. Here's what I've discovered: The MW drawer's "Keep Warm" option continues to cook the food, even with the low power level it uses. I only use it for very moist items that I don't mind if they're overcooked...which means not much! The ovens tend to dry things out when using the "Warm" option. In addition, you have to heat the entire oven cavity to use it as a warmer. We use our WD most days of the week (I'd say 5 or 6 days a week). You do have to remember to turn it on when you start cooking, but even when I forget, my WD seems to heat up fairly quickly. (I have a GE Profile WD...just a basic WD, no fancy bells & whistles. For moist/crisp, you open/close a little opening.) The other thing is that if you use your MW or oven as a WD, you then cannot use them for their major purpose...as a MW or oven.
