I can't even imagine the cleaning involved in open storage, in a
kitchen - just think of what your exhaust fan grill/grid looks like
when you take it down to wash it!

I'd maybe go for an armoire-type cupboard (free-standing) with closed
doors - if you have room for a baker's rack, you'd have room for an
armoire.

I got a bookcase with glass doors from the "O," - wasn't very
expensive - maple - and the shelves are 14" deep, which is unusual.
It's wonderful - holds all my cookbooks, tax folders, recipes that are
in a card file, loose printed recipes, a small tool chest for upstairs
use, and big folders with (1) car service records and (2) all the
warranty/instruction information for everything in the house that
needs such.
