Lessons from organizing the kitchen cabinet by Kaiser Fung.
From the post:
The first thing we know about kitchen cabinets is that they are not large enough. If you live in a small city apartment, you’re always looking for ways to maximize your space. If your McMansion has a huge kitchen, you’ll run out of space all the same, after splurging on the breadmaker, and the ice-cream maker, and the panini grill, and containers for garlic, onions, different shapes of pastas, and the peelers for apples, garlic, carrots, the egg-separator, the foam-maker, and so on.
Another thing we know is that no matter how many and how large the cabinets are, there is not enough premium space, by which we mean front-facing space within arm’s reach. What has this to do with graphs and charts? We’ll find out soon enough.
I won’t spoil the surprise for you.
You will enjoy the foregrounding of choices that seem “obvious” to us but no doubt were unseen by others.
