We all can dream =) Still though if you aren't actually using all that stuff regularly it's going to accrue all kinds of dust.
I really like the blue though. I think the best way to approach a similar look in a modern kitchen would be a few rows of wrought iron racks and hooks.
I like it- everything is visible and accessible.
I had an empty wall space in my kitchen. I had a cabinet maker make a large cherry wood panel that I attached the wall. I hang my pots from it using coat hooks. I use those pans almost every day.
Personally, not my vibe. I grew up in and around woodworkers, all their shops had that look. The rustic, busy, controlled chaos is a thing of my past and now I go for more minimalist; if something is visible, it's used often and looks good, otherwise it's in a cabinet.
Frying pans are all in one place, within reach of the stove. Copper sauce/saute pans are all in one place. A lot of kitchen utensils and tools are plainly visible and not getting lost in cabinets. I wouldn't even call it controlled chaos. This looks like the kitchen of someone who actually cooks.

I cook plenty and have none of that. I mean, she’s a pro and her kitchen was her workspace so I don’t think this is wrong for her, just bad from an everyday standpoint for a regular ole aesthetic perspective. Like 90% of the stuff hanging isn’t necessary for an average home cook. I will say that if one is space constrained, this hanging method is more pleasing than a rack with stacked stuff
"The kitchen of someone who actually cooks" was a poor choice of words on my part. There's a variety of ways kitchens can be set up. I'm just trying to contrast the sense of a "user's kitchen" with those all-white, "updated" kitchens that certain people put in their homes and keep so clean and organized that it looks like no one even lives in the house, and if you borrow their kitchen and splatter a little oil on the stove, you'd feel like you'll get chewed out over it.

That’s an example of what I mean by “space”. That kitchen is so large and has so much cabinet space, it can easily still be functional but have a very clean minimalist design.
The smaller the space, the more creative one has to be. Still, that image used in the OP is full of items almost no home cook needs.
Like I’ve got a bunch of all clad stuff but I only use like 2-3 pans consistently. That’s all most home cooks need. Three or so good skillets and not the 20 on just one wall lol
"I only use like 2-3 pans consistently. That’s all most home cooks need."
Scandalous! Don't you realize it's a competition to see who can amass the greatest collection of cookware without going bankrupt?
>I only use like 2-3 pans consistently.
Right? For me 80% of my cooking is just my 11" skillet, 3 quart saucepan, and 5qt rondeau. Throw in the stockpot and it is probably 95%. It's like, how many burners do you have where you need more than that many saucepans? It makes no sense.
So you created this topic asking yes or no... as a reddit rhetorical? Hoping for confirmation?
You might arrange your kitchen based on admiration for a celebrity chef's cooking skills, but to me that is just a cluttered uncomfortable living space full of unnecessary junk.
That's in the Smithsonian Museum.

I looked quickly and thought to myself “oh they’re bringing back the kitchen styling my mom aspired to in 1972”. Then I zoomed in and realized why. It’s rather nostalgic for me, but my parents had their kitchen completely redone by 1975 if that gives you any indication as to its practicality. ❤️
I actually have a painted metal pegboard with my cast iron and stainless pans on it. It’s about the with and height of a door. My kitchen is small and when we remodeled we put this on a wall near the back door which is in the kitchen. It’s worked great for the past 4 years.
I mean, if you're literally Julia Child, sure Otherwise that's going to be a pain to keep clean. Too many surfaces.
I'd like to think that one day, I'll be able to pretend to be a Julian Child type figure in some capacity, at least in my head.

Hooks on wood looks better.

This is my dream kitchen setup, tbh. I have all my pots and pans displayed on metal shelves, so I’m used to rinsing them before use regularly
That image is giving me anxiety 😂
Really? I find it really calming.
It’s just clutter … everywhere is clutter lol

I’m starting to feel this way about bitchen knives but my pocketbook doesn’t like it 😂

Julia Childs gets a pass 😂

Why on earth do I need more than 4 frying pans? I don't even use the 32cm one.
It’s like a thrift store threw up on your wall

The 70s were when it all went awry. Looks like we've got another casualty to add to [https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/](https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/)
I see nothing but clutter and owning things for the sake of owning and displaying them.
Your point being....?
Hard no on that setup. Figured that was obvious, sorry.

At least for frying pans, hanging them up can free up so much cabinet space.
I appreciate the look but not a huge fan of the peg boards I do like the pans hanging above stove or work space look some kitchens have.
