Here is a photo of an appliance on a pullout shelf in a DIY This Old House home. While the appliance does not rise up, it is on a hidden shelf (opens right). I've also seen upper cabs which open on a hinge when you pull the handle up (vertically). One had a glass front. Very nice.

I'm not sure this is what you had in mind. A Kitchen Aid Mixer hidden behind a roll up cabinet in a blind corner is very common and looks good.

Thanks for the reply and pic SparklingW. I love that drawer idea. I have to decide soon as DH needs to retro fit a springy lift thing if I want it shooting straight up. I have seen the kitchenaid lifts and am considering that too. So hard for me to figure out without a visual. I can't 'see' things without seeing them, if you know what I mean.

Here are some more visuals of pop up cabinets and counter top appliance hiding.

I'm a visual person myself. Good luck. :)
