I have had the pots and pans drawers as well as dish drawer for two years now. They have made putting dishes away so much quicker and easier.  I highly recommend.  Just FYI, mine are in island right across from dishwasher.  So helpful and minimizes bending or reaching.

Thanks for the reply. I could have more drawers in the island also.  

I doubt we will install a dishwasher unless it's one of those smaller ones. We always end up washing dishes anyways since it takes so long to fill it. I never have used it for pots or pans.

We can use the space for larger refrigerator plus space for our reverse osmosis system.

I got rid of my dining room too!  Get what you want, because it's expense, and a big pain to do.  I'm still cleaning up.  Wish I could afford a cleaning company to clean up after the remodel.  Good luck!

Get a dishwasher, you won't regret it.

Go to Bed, Bath and Beyond.  They have a lot of great organizing items.

I've found that "lazy susans" are great for storage.

I have a two-tiered one in a kitchen cabinet, for spices.

I have two of them in the pantry, for small items (baking powder, cornstach, syrups, sprinkles and so on). 

They don't take up much room, and they keep things organized and accessible.

The only other advice I can give is to purge before you organize. This is a great time to slim down, if you haven't in awhile.
