A lateral stretch was not an option when we planned our home. I had a HUGE kitchen with lots of cabinets when I lived up north. I had it arranged just the way I liked it. I took pictures of the way it was arranged. I used those photos to duplicate my setup, and with a lot of paring down (the 40 year old faded blue pyrex bowls did NOT move to TV), my lantana kitchen is just fine. I made it my mission to only have foodstuffs in the pantry. If it doesn't fit there, I don't buy it. There are several places to buy groceries, and I have plenty of time to shop, so if I need it-I go buy it then. Everyone here has had the same dilemmas. Eventually you'll make it work for you too!
