HI...I love your set up in your pop up, you gave me some great ideas on storage. Where did you get your shelving unit (holding your paper plates, cups...etc) and the set up for your microwave is awesome too. Thanks so much for posting your pics.

Thanks Heinfamily4,
Glad you enjoyed the photos and got some ideas for your PUP from them.
We got the wire baskets/tension curtain rods to use to BUILD the shelving unit over the sink are at our local Super WalMart store. My DH attached the 3 baskets (sold separately) on the two small tension curtain rods with metal clamps that we bought at Home Depot. He measured the tension rods width/height before clamping the baskets on to them, so it would just slide in place behind my sink. On my PUP I have a very small ledge behind the sink so the shelf 'legs' were the perfect place for them to stand on.
The larger plastic shelves that we used for the microwave, my DH got at Home Depot. They were larger than shown on the photos, but he measured/cut them down a bit to fit under our couch when the PUP was popped down for proper storing. The shelves were all one piece he just cut down to size. So we could have two shelving units. The one with the micro on it, I wanted higher so I didn't have to bend too much (bad back) to check the food while cooking. The other unit is still tall enough so we can place a TV on top of it and watch either from our couch or from the Dinette bench, when we take the TV...only when our kids go with us. LOL. I also bought 3 'S' hooks at Home Depot so I could hook my pot holders onto the shelf. I have also put two pot holders together on one hook and put cooking spoon/spatula on the hooks for easy access. The small white baskets that old the hand/dish soap/anti-germ liquid I got at WalMart. The sponge/scrubber that is in the sink that has a suction holder on it, I got at Camping World.
I do want to mention that I got the idea for the sink shelf from other folks on this board. They directed me to do a search on Webshots and put in the Search window: PUP Mods,Pop Up Modifications or PUP shelves Mods. There are some great photos from different folks who have done great modifications to their PUPs there.

You might see other shelving units ideas that would work better for you over there. Good Luck!
