Hi Deb! How fun, a new to you FT and all the things to figure out. There are exactly as many ways to do this as there are Foretravels, actually more because most of us rearrange stuff several times until we settle in on one arrangement and then do it again. You will too.
Pots and pans are an issue. Here is a nice seven piece nesting set

Or a ten piece set with ceramic coating (we have this one only because of the coating, for us the 7 pc would have been plenty)

They store in a very small space. Get the felt pot protectors that go between the pots while stored.

I am guessing you have the L shaped kitchen. The drawers in the L part are only 20" deep and there is room for at least 30". Three thirty inch drawers is like another drawer and a half. A worth while change.
In the big bottom drawer in the L section we added a sliding tray at the top for small stuff. All of the drawers have dividers of one sort or another to keep stuff organized. Silverware and knives in the top drawer in the L section. We store plates and bowls in the second drawer in the L section. Cut a round piece of fabric to put between each to keep quiet.
In the first drawer under the cooktop we have the nested pot set, mixing and cooking bowls, collander (some of these are the collapsable silicon ones). In the big drawer under the cooktop I added a front to back divider. One side hold the cutting board and racks. The other has the electric tea pot, the coffee equipment and the toaster.
You will discover quickly what you brought that you don't need and what you should have brought. Some of us are cooks some are bakers, some outdoor grill enthusiasts. You will figure it out.
