Wilamette 6 Schoolhouse Pendant Light - $129.00 » I've been perusing products from companies that make replica lighting fixtures similar to those that were popular in the '50s and '60s. I think this is a great way to honor the time period that the home was built in.
countertops , they are both Quartz countertops. They are from Chroma Quartz by Pental. The colors we used are Mesa (darker on the perimeter) and Gobi (lighter on the island). Here is... the website: http://www.pentalonline.com/chroma-quartz/ they are located out of Seattle, WA. There are also some similar colors available from Caesarstone which is sold nationwide.

spices
Imagine yourself cooking in your kitchen. Oils, vinegars, and items in taller spice jars, salt, condiments, sauces, etc. are nice to have in one cabinet to the left or right of the stove. You don't necessary want to walk to the pantry to get these particular items every time you need them. If you have cabinets between your sink and stove as shown here, tall spices, oils and vinegars are ideally suited to that furthest wall cabinet on the right.
Pots and pans should be put in a location that makes sense: near the stove (or cooktop). I prefer roll-out shelves as opposed to drawers for pots and pans, and if you can have a dedicated lid drawer, even better. The reason I like roll-outs is that they're shallower: I can see what I need, as opposed to drawers where I often have to pull out the pots on top to get to the one on the bottom. If you have a cooktop, underneath is ideal. To the side is fine when you have a range, and if you don't have room for a large cabinet to the side of your stove (27"-30" wide minimum), the island right near the stove is fine, too. If you don't have an island put them in a cabinet perpendicular to you, or a pivot away in a peninsula.
serole dishes and small appliances. These items are ideally stored in cabinets that have roll-outs for easier access. Tupperware is another topic. if you have a blind corner or lazy susan cabinet, use that for heavier items like small appliances — light-weight items tend to get stuck and fall all over the place. Tupperware is best in drawers. (Have you ever opened up a wall cabinet and had it topple on your head? Exactly).
