I saw It’s Complicated the other week, and could barely focus on the frothy plot. All I could think about was the insanely gorgeous kitchen of Meryl Streep’s character, Jane. From the first moment I saw it, I gasped. Open shelves, a large eat-around island, clusters of olive oil bottles, shelves of cookbooks, cake plates filled with pastries and bowls of gorgeous fruit. Who lives like this!? Jane, it turns out, is a professional baker, and as the movie progresses, one of the plot lines is that she is hiring an architect (Steve Martin) to build her a “real” kitchen. Man, this screenwriter has never been in our apartment, where you can’t open the oven, dishwasher, and fridge all at the same time! I wouldn’t necessarily recommend the movie (it’d be an awesome girls’ night rental, though), but if you’re looking for an inspiring kitchen, it’s a must-see. — Angela M.
