When we were deciding what cabinets to get we originally wanted the ultra dark cabinets with white countertops. After much deliberation, we decided on a granite that would work with our cabinets. Well many granite's would "work," but we wanted what would "work" for us :).

Oh yeh sink is in too. We were really close to going with the brand that our granite guy sells, Suneli, however, Suneli doesn't make a large single bowl which is what we wanted. So at the last minute I ran over to Home Depot and bought this large single bowl Elkay and Hansgrohe faucet.

Left side: Mostly cans of stuff, your oils and vinegars, sauces unopened, tea, spices, cooking related dry goods type stuff such as pasta, and a standard shelf for the ziplock bags, foil, saran wrap, etc. The spice drawer stealthily closes under this shelf.

Left side some drawers open to see how it looks. Note full extension a perk that the top cabinet companies consistently mention, but it seems this is pretty standard nowadays everywhere.

Right side: Cereal (we love cereal), snacks (we might love snacks more), vitamins/meds, food that Jax can grab himself on the bottom drawer.

Random stuff is stored on the top cavernous box.
