There’s an approximately 24"×24"×32" space in the corner of my kitchen between the actual cabinet and the range.

I’m at a loss. The house is fairly small, and I’m an efficiency nut, so 10ft³ of totally useless space bugs me. The proximity to the oven would make extending the cabinet back that way and using some kind of blind-corner storage solution impractical.

We’ve been thinking about getting a new water heater, the current one is ancient and lives in a little enclosure outside, about 12’ away. Can we get one of those short ones and tuck it in there or is that likely to overheat?

We’ve also been talking about a whole-house water fountain system, but I’m worried that changing filters would be incredibly annoying.

    Those electric point-of-use water heaters are built to be in a cabinet, I’d say it would be fine in there. They’re generally like 5-8 gallons, and you’ll have to wire another 240V line into there.
