Tiny shelves under sink - original purpose?

We have these teensy tinsey, eeney-weeny little...uh, shelves or ledges more like under our sink. Anyone else? Do you know what these were originally for? Were they for griddle storage? If so, we have a tiny improvement! Magnets.

But really...why were these little ledges installed, and carpeted?

Susan,

Ours is where the sink covers are located.  Came that way when we got our coach.

Hi Susan,

They are for whatever you have that fits in there. Great spot for the griddle. Magnets are an imaginative add-on. The little one above holds a roll of aluminium foil.  It is your space to fill as you see fit.  Nobody does it the same way, really.

We have added shelves, dividers, book holders and lights in almost every cabinet and closet. And they get changed as we refine what we are hauling around and actually using.  Taking every thing out of every where and rearranging it all depending on how we use things, getting rid of what we really don't use (which usally is more that I expect) and putting it all back we are amazed at how much more room we have to start filling up again. How fun!

:) Well, then. I guess we should find some tiny little things to line up on our empty top shelf! I feel like a small collection of kitchen miniatures would be great. Fairy tea settings. lol

Those are intended to be used to store the kitchen sink covers.

Hmmmmm
Then what is this for?  We put the sink covers in here. Table extension won't fit, tried it. It has a place in one of the closets.

Our coach has the small door like above, right next to the U-line ice maker. It has a dish towel holder--two chromed rods that can be slid out. We store the sink covers and a cutting board in here.
The left side (or rear side) as you face the cabinet, had a small cutting board, trapped between the cabinet frames, that a PO apparently lost. It is quite nice, and decorative.

That's what we use it for, won't store much else.
