prioritize functional storage when you're renovating

It's easy to get excited about all the flashy options when you're doing a renovation (warming drawer! minimalist shelving in lieu of cabinets!). But if you put all of your money and available square footage into appliances and trendy finishes, you might just be disappointed that your actual real life stuff doesn't fit the way you want it to. There's nothing wrong with a fridge just for la croix, but don't install this instead of a trash can, ok?
