We gutted the kitchen in the house we are in now before we moved in. It is the IKEA kitchen of my dreams. Big drawers for dishes and pots. I went with the smooth cabinet fronts. For the garbage I have a big pull out under the sink with two cans - one for trash and one for recycling. This has a motor or something because I just tap it with my knee and it opens - has cut way down on messy floor. I can easily reach in from the sides to clean it. I'm sure there are similar options available or the motor can probably be ordered from IKEA and used for any under sink slide out. I also got an Insinkerator instant hot water - it is a mini hot water heater. I use it all the time. And insinkerator makes a garbage disposer button that is right near the faucet - well close enough. No need for a wall switch. Not expensive. Lucky me Mr Stitchnripper didn't care what I picked and he is happy with the outcome. Have fun with it.
