Shelves in 3400RL

First sorry about the long post!!!
We are trying to get the best utilization out of the space in the new Montana 3400 RL.
First of all under the sink, remove the lazy susan,
The first door from the enterance to the kitchen, we put the waste basket, first got one that pulls out from Home Depot, too long.
So therefore I put 1" boards on the bottom to build it up then a petition between the first and second door, seperating out the waste basket area, now it is accessible from the kitchen and dining room side.
Also it does not interfere with the waste trap for the sinks.
The next door area I put up a petition between the doors and a petition crosswise and put shelves on both sides. The one in the kitchen I put with about 12" shelf from the bottom for my wife's cleaning tall stuff and a smaller shelf for her sponges and other small item.
On the dining room side I put the shelf at about 9" so the blender base and top fit on the bottom and the coffee pot on the top shelf.
In the third door from the dining side I put a it a shelf about 14" deep and 12" high, giving a space to put tall soda bottles under.
Then the space under the refrigerature, there is a panel with 4 screws in it and there is dead space.
I made two size plates with a runner and attached it to the sides and made a 24" by 18" platform with a 6 1/2" back.
Put hinges on the panel and a handle with a clip to hold the door closed, great spot for cooking sheets.
In the closet where the washer ahd dryer are suppost to be, I picked up at Home Depot the Closet Maid brackets and two of the shelves with sliding baskets. Works great for storage. the only thing I am going to do to it is drill some small holes in the brackets so I can put a few wire ties to hold everyting together when traveling.
Going to tackle the basement next
