Get a smaller toaster.
Replace the food processor with an immersion blender.
Eliminate the rice cooker; cook rice on the stovetop.
Replace the stand mixer with a hand mixer. (No. On second thought, get rid of the mixer. Because all it's good for is making cakes and chocolate pudding. And you should lay off those.)

@Prisoner1972 I appreciate your input. As for stick blenders, I go through two or three a year. You can't do with the stick blender what you can do with the food processor. Besides, I inherited this one, so it's got sentimental value. Are you aware of the attachments that are available on the KitchenAid mixer? Plus, I've got a hand mixer also KitchenAid. It doesn't do anywhere near the job the standing one does, and the standing one does it without any supervision or guidance from me. I couldn't agree with you more about the rice cooker and the toaster. However I'm not the only one who uses this kitchen. My wife also has a say in the matter and I lost out to the way we cook rice a long time ago. I prefer to boil it then steam it. But she likes it all packed and gummy. And I prefer wild rice and she likes the white crap. I don't understand why they strip it then enrich it. Just leave it enriched. LOL it was worse than the bulkiness of that toaster? It's the fact that only two of the fucking slots work.
Anyway, the lineup has since changed a bit since I recorded that. I added the toaster oven that just squeaks in there but I have to move the carousel which is drilled into the Lazy Susan. It still fits, it just doesn't spin. This project is going to evolve for sure I've got an idea too actually set the Lazy Susan flush with the countertop and wire some Outlets into it through a device called a split ring that will allow electricity to run through it while still allowing it to spin continuously in either direction. Or I would have to put a stop in there so it could only spin so far and then have to spin back the other way so the wires wouldn't get all twisted up.
Since the kitchen counter is Corian, if it doesn't work out I could put the piece back in and secure it with matching epoxy. Even if there were still visible evidence of there once being a Pac-Man shaped hunk out of the corner of the kitchen counter, I don't mind history like that
I thought I had an elevation drawing also but maybe I didn't save it yet

@Prisoner1972 that mixer is an older one i got for wifey back in the 90s. Its not as big as they make them these days
If you've had your stick blender for a while and its holding up for you, please tell me the make and model. Thats an item i aways get the insurance for on Amazon. I keep breaking the shroud off of them. On my latest one, I reinforced that joint with some CA glue before I even put it into use. In the past I've been able to braze them back on but that's because I was able to take it apart and separate all the rubber and plastic out but the last two I got had blades on them that couldn't be removed. The last one lasted just over a month but it wasn't the Shroud that broke. You know how the blade works like a propeller and sucks the blender to the bottom of what container you're using it in? Unless it this one did and then it started loading the shaft up and then into the motor. I didn't notice it till start getting electrocuted. I thought it was just the damn thing vibrating
