Update: Julia Child's Kitchen
I've mentioned before that Julia Child used pegboard to hang her pots and pans. I've just found out that the Smithsonian has pictures of their re-creation of her kitchen, where you can see just how she did that.
While I appreciate the usefulness of having everything within reach, I find it stressful to have my environment so visually cluttered. I like lots of empty surfaces and nothing on countertops. I would rather take things out and put them away everyday or even several times a day rather than look at them all the time.
Anonymous: Thanks for writing! Your comment emphasizes something I tell people all the time - each person needs his or her own organizing system. Some people love having things out where they can see them; others (like you) want everything put away to create a calmer look.
Personally, I'm somewhere in between you and Julia Child!
