I am addicted to kitchen gadgets...I love to cook and bake so I also have a good collection of Wilton cake decorating supplies.
When we move and I set up my kitchen I do it in 'zones' so everything you would do in the kitchen has it's own space to maximize efficiency. Cooking happens at the stove so, naturally, the pans and bakeware are stored in the cabinets there...dishes go in the cabinet above the dishwasher to save steps and I usually set up a seperate area for the baking/fun stuff so those supplies are in that area. A pantry is a must in my kitchen and so are divided cabinets and deep drawers. I have a large corner cabinet and my Grandma's antique cabinet in the dining room so I store the things I don't use often in those two.
Keep the things you use the most within reach and put the other stuff up high...I have a flat foot, 2 step ladder next to my fridge for those things...yah, I'm short
It takes some time but once a kitchen is set up properly you can get so much more done in less time even if you don't have a lot of space.
