My 2004 has a slightly different kitchen configuration than yours, but the available space is about identical. The DW was in charge (by her orders) of organizing the storage and the upper cabinets over the counter top is where the plates, bowls, saucers are stored. These things are Corelle and nearly unbreakable, but are placed in plastic caddies that prevent them from moving/sliding against each other of off the shelf. Coffee mugs and drinking tumblers are also in the upper cabinets.
Under counter drawers have the silverware and kitchen utensils. Under sink drawer (behind the doors) has the breakable casseroles, and the space above holds the kitchen clean items. We have a couple of large drawers on the end of the counter cabinets which face the refrigerator. The top drawer is for large mixing bowls and the lower drawer is for my small repair tools, batteries, glue, tape, etc. Since we have an oven, there is only one small drawer under it, and that is used for rolls of aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and plastic baggies.
Our "spice cabinet" is behind the slide out at the entrance of the bath area and that's where the spices are kept (DUH!)
One mod we made that helps tremendously. We do not have a washer/dryer. In the upper part of that closet, I installed shelves on which we store the metal pots and pans as well as larger dry goods. The lower closet, where the washer/dryer would be, is entirely open behind the doors and used for a clothes hamper, storage for a small electric heater, and a folding vacuum/dust buster that recharges from the outlet designed for the washer.
The passenger side upper cabinets hold the paper goods, plastic utensils, table cloths, and plastic drinking glasses. The upper cabinets over the drivers side sofa hold trivets, place mats, and dog and cat food along with the feeding bowls.
