"We're back to this little space over here underneath the counter and again there are lots of different options of things that I could put in there. I ended up deciding to put a trash can there. At first I wanted to put some kind of rolling shelving unit that came out, but when I didn't find one that fit, I decided that the second best use of that space would be a trash can. Because it is so narrow and deep, you can't really add, I didn't think it would be a good use of space to add shelving back there because things would get lost in the back and the trash can seemed like, it seemed like a logical place for a trash can. So I found this trash can which happened to be a perfect width which again I measured and it fits just back there. So I can, I have easy access to it when I'm over here at the sink and it is a trash can where you can step and it opens. So you can step on a pedal and opens which is also good for this space, so that I don't have to be pulling up a lid."
