Organising small galleys… what's the secret?

Hi,

I fly on an XLS+ and I'm fairly appalled at the basic nature of the galley. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some optional organisers, or some aftermarket organiser to help neatly store things. You know how it is, you want to present a neat and tidy cabin to the passengers commensurate with the level they expect and you have a draw with plates and cutlery sliding around.

How do you all do it? We normally serve a light snack, so we're simple crockery and cutlery is all I need to organise. Does anyone operating similar aircraft know of an aftermarket organiser specifically made for the drawers? I imagine there are a multitude of regulations, STCs required and an astronomical price tag - but I'm open to being pleasantly surprised!

Ideally, I'd like to get the wine and champagne glasses out of the drawer and securely stowed in the galley cupboard, which doesn't have any attachments for the glasses' bases or a similar setup. Then I'd like to neatly anchor 6-8 plates, napkins and cutlery. We do have what appears to be a perspex setup separating the tea service items, and being a dab hand with a Dremel I was considering getting some clear perspex and making it myself.

Any ideas? This wasn't really covered in the ATPLs…
