The average home kitchen chaos is not necessarily dramatic—nothing's on fire, nothing's broken—if it is, please stop reading and go attend to the larger issues in your life. No, normally it's the slow accumulation of damp sponges, half-used paper towel rolls, and drawer organizers that seemed like a good idea in the store but don’t fit just right. At some point I realized I was buying paper towels reflexively, resentfully, and more often than felt reasonable.
