Yes Pete, seeing the dilema you face as you disgorge the contents of all those moving cartons really spurs me to get going on the kitchen reno again. All these recently adopted mixers, jeez, there's no room to even make a sandwich left on the counter, just enough to add half & half to a single cup of Bunn brewed coffee. arghhhhh. I refuse to put the mixers back in boxes so I guess they'll have to go live in another room for a while. My kitchen is all original down to the wainscotting save for a skinny shallow stack of chipboard cupboard units 11" deep over the matching sink counter. In my mind's eye I see glass front 18" deep cabinets hung from ceiling to chest level on two walls to house the regular everyday dishes & cups and showcase the mixers, blenders, irons, toasters, etc.
Just after I bought the house I came across being turfed at the local dump, in its box, a never uninstalled 6 foot double sink double drainboard porcelaine on steel kitchen counter from the 50s. The rear edge rises up 4" with 3 standard holes for taps & spout and a 4th hole for a sprayer below & between the sinks.
As for vacuum display, I really like those open wire units from Lowes...and now I'm going to have to get another one just for the 6 (so far) Constellations. 
Hey, I can populate the lower shelves with the homely Comet Tanker and his stylish kin, the Compacts.
