Any websites or good photos of kitchen storage
I have a tiny kitchen and need better ways of storing everything. Only thing that looks good and easy to get to stuff is my dishes and pot lids. So I need help with everything.
Re: Any websites or good photos of kitchen storage
Have you tried cereal box, boxes? I can't say if they'd work for you or not, but as far as orgainzing drawers and shelves, I am so nervous about buying pre-made orgainzers that might not meet my needs, I found cutting and taping some either temporary or re-used materials gave me a good idea of what sizes worked and if you get close to the size you want to buy- it's a trial. Looks like you're busy but maybe your LO would help tape/ place items where they go in the kitchen.

HTH!
Before my kitchen remodel I had two cabinets. So, I had to get really smart with organization.
I hung my pots and pans with those metal bars from Ikea. Also, bought their spice rack that hung on the bar. I had two levels of bars, and then use their hooks to hang the pots and pans. I also used these cookie sheet bars that help you utilize what cabinet space you do have. It allows you to put cookie sheets, cutting boards at the top of your interior cabinets.
I utlized the walls as much as possible. I found that Ikea had the same stuff that organize.com had, but much cheaper.
If you don't mind things being out, we have a pegboard setup similiar to this (without the outlines of each item):
We also have a pot lid organizer like this on the pegboard that we got from Ikea:
