There’s an approximately 24"×24"×32" space in the corner of my kitchen between the actual cabinet and the range.

I’m at a loss. The house is fairly small, and I’m an efficiency nut, so 10ft³ of totally useless space bugs me. The proximity to the oven would make extending the cabinet back that way and using some kind of blind-corner storage solution impractical.

We’ve been thinking about getting a new water heater, the current one is ancient and lives in a little enclosure outside, about 12’ away. Can we get one of those short ones and tuck it in there or is that likely to overheat?

We’ve also been talking about a whole-house water fountain system, but I’m worried that changing filters would be incredibly annoying.

      I was thinking about that. On the other side of the wall opposite the range is a little linen closet/alcove. It’s pretty narrow, so it would be a bit awkward to access, but it could work for extra pillows and comforters. It’s certainly an option to consider.
