It has only been since we&#8217;ve lived in the home that I&#8217;ve realised in particular what a huge difference it does make.\u00a0Sounds a bit &#8216;salesy&#8217; Adam.\u00a0Trust me this is real, everyday true occurrences.\u00a0For me the &#8216;fully extending&#8217; drawers are the best thing since sliced bread.\u00a0One of my many chores is loading and unloading the dishwasher. The satisfaction of lifting big pots out of the dishwasher knowing that I don&#8217;t have to get on my hands and knees to rearrange the back of the cupboards is huge.\u00a0I swear on it.\u00a0Then when I\u00a0push\u00a0the drawers in &#8211; with my super human strength &#8211; they don&#8217;t slam shut, as they have soft close gizmos (for lack of\u00a0a better name), so they close nice and smooth. The only issue with fully extending drawers is that &#8216;little ones&#8217; like my little Minnie can get into everything and more.<br \/>\nUnless you have these things I guess you never know the difference but believe me there&#8217;s a difference.\u00a0I don&#8217;t think I could ever go back.\u00a0Adam, you&#8217;re just talking about drawers! I know but it makes your life so much easier.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_3520\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/027.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3520\" src=\"http:\/\/schellbrothers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/027-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"In-drawer trash\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3520\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3520\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In-drawer trash<\/p><\/div> I best not forget the in-drawer trash units.\u00a0No more rumagining underneath the sink and picking up all the trash that missed! You know what I mean.\u00a0Simply pull out the drawer and it&#8217;s as easy as that.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s more to the gourmet kitchen\u00a0then\u00a0just what I&#8217;ve already mentioned.\u00a0Although gourmet kitchens vary, they all have their own special additions like glass cabinets, wine glass holders, wine bottle slots, cabinet &#8216;style&#8217; end panels, quirky corner cabinets,\u00a0wall ovens, cook tops, ranges, kitchen gadget storage (this is very cool), and this all brings together the unique design features with contours and angles rather than straight lines.<br \/>\nAnyway I just wanted to share my revelations about my dishwasher experiences with you.\u00a0It truly does make me smile. What are your favorite gourmet kitchen elements?<br \/>\nCheers Adam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m lucky in many ways &#8211; or so the wife tells me!
