I'm a big believer in recycling or reusing. My neighbor was remodeling his kitchen and getting rid of his old wood cabinets. We took the small cabinet that is usually above the fridge and hung it over the sink to store soap, brushes, colorcatchers, brushes, and other smaller items. We used 2 lower cabinets back to back, added a cheap counter top and casters for storage of large items and a folding area. It's not glamorous and like Tartan said, I spend as little time as possible there.
