Everything and the Kitchen Sink

I started a new kitchen folder recently which then expanded to include butler's pantries and open shelved storage.  Which then expanded to include a few shots of food and greenery and flowers.  It's an everything and the kitchen sink post literally and figuratively.  It also seemed fitting to post it now as many will be sitting down to Passover and Easter meals with their families.  Since I celebrate Easter, I didn't realize how much cleaning must be done in preparation for Passover.  Jews must remove all traces of leaven or chametz which "is defined as the result of grain that ferments" from their kitchen and home. I feel like I could stand to remove all leaven from my life too after all the bread I ate this weekend and do some spring cleaning of my own. Happy holidays to all who are celebrating this week.

Open Up

When I saw the open shelved kitchen above that Thom Filicia designed in the new August 2008 issue of Domino, I immediately thought of a similar little cottage kitchen that Steven Gambrel designed below. And then it had me thinking about all the open shelves and glass doors on shelves I've been noticing lately. They look great but I can't decide if it's something that only design obsessed perfectionists could live with since everything has to look, for the most part, in order. What do you think? Can real people live with open shelves?
