Kiwi,
You'll love it.
we use the left hand end as our pantry. I have made some slide out timber shelfs so you can put stuff on them, and pull them out so you can see and get at everything easily, as well as the stuff on the far left (you will know what I mean when you get your kitchen). We wrote the names of things on top of the containers etc so you can see from the top when you pull the shelfs out.
We took the view that we wanted to cut down on kitchen stuff outside the DPOR....idea being that you are putting stuff away as you use it..so packing up should simply be closing up and putting away...so we changed our pots and pans to make sure they fit in the available space. We changed our plates/cups to fit in the available space.
So far we have been able to keep everything reasonably contained...If we are staying somewhere for a long period, then we tend to 'spread' out a bit....
