It was a January 8th like any other when Kim Kardashian broke my Instagram.
Let me explain. I do not follow Kim Kardashian on Instagram. My Instagram is sacred. All the people I follow, I have met. In real life.
However, on January 8th, Kim Kardashian shared a live walk through her nearly-empty home refrigerator. Hers holds only liquids, including at least five variations on milk – or is it mylk? Reactions, as one might expect, ranged from inexplicably fascinated to… explicably appalled.
Responding to the trolls and naysayers claiming the fridge lacked substance, Mrs. Kardashian West offered a full explanation the following day. This time, she took the adoring public on a tour of her custom walk-in. The single home refrigerator was in fact, not her exhaustive home refrigeration solution.
I received dozens of direct messages about a detailed tour available on her IG story. Truly, I was now fascinated. Anyone familiar with walk-in procurement and installation would be. Kim K’s model is on par with a restaurant’s size and scope, reminding us that stars… they’re just like us.
When I moved out of my one-bedroom apartment in New York City (smaller than KKW’s walk-in), Jamie and I envisioned what our ‘plate room’ would look like before signing our mortgage.
While I haven’t previously taken to sharing my ‘she-shed’ with the world, Mrs. Kardashian West has inspired me. Fitted with perfectly measured Cambro shelving, here is what you will currently find during a tour of my ‘plate room’:
Glassware:
Linea Umana by Rona (coming soon), Finesse by Nude Glass (a classic), Hepburn by Nude (a new classic – Nude’s design foray).
Dinnerware:
Canvas by Robert Gordon Pottery, SERAX accessories, a rainbow of mugs by Felt + Fat, and an arsenal of Figgjo large format vessels.
Flatware:
Fiddle Vintage by Studio William. Hannah by Sambonet. Bistrot by Sabre Paris. Opinel Steak Knives.
Cookware:
Pans by Hestan. Pots by Agnelli. And lots of Revol.
To set the table, Casa Rovea sustainable linens.
Interested in taking a tour? No, this is not a pitch meeting for Cribs: Foodservice Professionals (which I’d love to host). The International Restaurant and Foodservice Show of New York will take place on March 8-10th at the Javits Center and you can tour all our most cherished partners in tabletop, and more at booth 1613.
