Thank you. The kitchens in our previous two houses were considerably
larger, so our current one feels small to us. It was even worse
before we moved the refrigerator into the dining room--previously
located right next to the stove, so there wasn't any space to
sit something down, and the side of the fridge got rather hot
when we used the oven.

Actually, the cabinets are two owners ago. Those upper
cabinets are mostly empty. Too high (especially now that
DH has limited shoulder motion and strength) and too small.
After the bathroom remodel I deep-cleaned the kitchen (some
of the demolition dust got away from us and drifted all
over the house), and moved almost everything from those
uppermost cabinets to the basement. It was mostly stuff
for entertaining, which doesn't need to be accessed on
a moment's notice.
We're brainstorming a kitchen remodel. One thought is to
build soffits and install lights, kind of like this:

Although our ceilings are nearly that high.

That looks lovely

Btw yes my cupboards are high, but I have a wee folding stool which lives in
my kitchen and gets used regularly.
Pretty much like this:

I am not terribly tall, so it gets well used
