Jules, it's good to have you around! Full-width shelves put in permanently will be fastest to accomplish and probably easiest. If there is any way to make any shelf adjustable, of course, that can always be helpful! You can also buy lightweight movable "shelves" to change heights around temporarily, that are actually like little tables that stand on thin legs on the shelf below (or storage cubes would do the same thing). That would give you some choices. I use one of the little table-types in half of an over-large kitchen cupboard - mine is expandable, real convenient.
Another thing that occurs to me, thinking about that 35" measurement back to front, is that you could do it in two layers, the back for seldom-used storage in boxes, with more frequently needed items in front of that in any kind of helpful little stacked storage drawers or even stand-up magazine holders on top of shoeboxes, whatever's helpful. As long as you are keeping an indexed record of what's where anyway, it shouldn't be hard to pull out the front "layer" and get to the other things.
Sunny, good job on the paper-clutter. I went through some recently but wasn't as productive as I'd hoped. Have to keep plugging away.
If you don't believe in miracles, you're not being realistic.
