Interiors: Compact Kitchens

My dream home is modest but my dream kitchen is giant with butcher block and concrete counter tops. Until that dream becomes a reality though, I'm regularly finding inspiration from compact kitchens with clever storage like open shelving, baskets to contain tools and supplies, and hooks for pots and pans. I love the dish storage in the last image - sitting the plates vertically instead of horizontally saves tons of space and it looks awesome. It's such a simple solution and one I need to employ stat. Any other clever space saving tricks you've utilized in the kitchen?
