Marni JamesonSpecial to the Herald-TribuneI know it’s tempting. You see those clean, uncluttered open shelves in kitchens, with their matching ceramic dishes, beautifully staged glassware, lots of negative space, and you think, “Why not? If my kitchen had open shelving, my belongings would look great, too! Plus, everything would be so easy to reach.”Uhh, think again. Kitchen cabinets come with doors for a reason. That reason is not everything we own is pretty.

After nearly 21 years of writing this weekly column, and much soul searching, I have decided to make a change. This may not be difficult news for you, but it is for me. So please indulge me once more as I wax and pine in this final dispatch.
