Ok, hear me out here.

One of the things my wife and I would LOVE to do, is remodel our kitchen….the cabinets are the originals, they are dirty, and are ACTUALLY falling apart. I have been suggested to just paint them…but no…they are physically falling apart. It happens….typical house stuff. Our kitchen though is pretty small and un-managable.

So we went to the Menards like all of us Midwesterners do, went to the cabinet section just to at least gain an understanding of where it all starts right? Lately though, I have been seeing this ‘exposed cabinet’ thing where it isn’t cabinets…but shelves. Where all of your dishes, glasses, etc are just…out there….and I just don’t get it.

You see these designs on HGTV shows….and yes….it looks very clean and organized….but dude, have like 2 kids and I don’t see how it’s possible! I look at my current cabinets and they are just full of like free cups, beer mugs, random water bottles, sippee cups, bottles….and it’s like man, that would look like UTTER SHIT.

Maybe I’m not getting it though, I suppose it’s a more minimalist style and probably prevents your from taking home random cups. But start adding kids and pets….and before you know it? Your exposed plates and cups are covered in dust, cat hair, or whatever junk your kid decided to chuck at the wall that day.

Kudos if this is you and your modern taste, but like….how do you keep such an organized life?
