But I "know" that the minute I donate them, I'll kick myself because someone will request something, and I'll either have to buy another pan or turn down the request. Thoughts? What kinds of things do you or people you have worked with keep in the upper corner kitchen cabinets? They are awkwardly sized, and the back area is hard to reach. Our most visible space is our kitchen. This is the main door we use and the door visitors use. It seems like such a big project. Any advice to help me focus on seeing progress on anything?
