When I first moved into my apartment in January 2023, I had high hopes for organizing my kitchen, which has generous storage within an otherwise modest footprint. Inside this corner galley, there are cabinets on either side of the thoroughfare, but the most impressive detail is the floor-to-ceiling pantry at the opening.
This pantry could hold a lot of stuff, and I imagined clear bins and labels, glass jars and baskets, and anything else that would make Meryl Streep’s character in It’s Complicated feel at ease (whenever I picture anyone moving effortlessly around a kitchen, this movie comes to mind). But that’s not what happened.
