Continuing with the storage theme... this time I chose the kitchen! Since I wanted to make something that could be used in just about any room, there is only one true kitchen item in this set- the counter. The rest were all designed with the kitchen in mind, but like I said- they could really be used anywhere. So, what's in this set? Grab some popcorn, settle in and I shall tell you.

In the above screenshot, you'll see some of the meshes. You might even notice that some are stacked on top of another mesh. Don't let that fool you! They don't truly stack, I just needed to show as many as possible while making sure they could be seen, lol.
The Meshes:











Above pic shows the wire stackable baskets. With fruit! (Fruit not included!)
What You Need To Know:










Above screenshot shows the overlap on the tops.
What You Need To Know: The Very Important, Please Pay Attention Edition:







Note: All appliances will function as they should when used with the counter. Dishwashers and trash compactors will work if used with the top-only and side panels. Please see screenshots.
Price and Catalog Location:
Tables - both 150 Simoleons, found in Surfaces>Tables
Corner units, 1 tile units - 75 Simoleons, found in Surfaces>End Tables
2 tile units - both 100 Simoleons, can be found in Surfaces>End Tables
Side panel - 5 Simoleons, can be found in General>Misc
Shelf - 5 Simoleons, can be found in Surfaces>End Tables
Top only - 5 Simoleons, can be found in Deco>Misc
All baskets - 10 Simoleons, can be found in Deco>Misc
Counter - 90 Simoleons, can be found in Surfaces>Counters
Everything should be base game compatible. There is a residential collection file included! Hope you and your sims enjoy!
The included recolors all match the UnderStairs Storage. There are extra recolors for the tops in marble/granite/tile- they are separate packages.
Another note: This set mixes/matches well with Buggybooz' kitchens. This was purely intentional because as much as I like her meshes, I wanted to be able to mix other meshes with hers. If you have any Maxis Match recolors, they match rather well.
Special thanks to Huge Lunatic- I cloned her extracted Uni counter to make mine. (And yes, I know I could've made recolors for her's and.. well, I know that now. At the time I had other plans for my counter, lol.)

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
The exception: My TS4 Robert Williamson sim. I would really like it if he's not edited in any way. He's my tribute to Robin Williams, who was someone I greatly admired. Changing him would make him just another sim.
