There's something about open shelving that makes my heart jump. It always manages to catch my eye. There are about a million and six examples out there, between blogs and design websites. Here are a few of my favorites.

Some kitchens rely only on open shelves instead of having upper cabinets.

I love the simplicity of Emily's kitchen and the beadboard behind the shelves.

I'm not sure what we'll end up with in our kitchen.
What's in yours? What inspires you?

Have a great week!

I have both upper cabinets and open shelving in my kitchen. It wasn't always like that. I raise my cabinets up to the ceiling and added e shelf under each cabinet.Come by and check it out.

I wouldn't mind a mix of open and cabinets. I just can't face a whole kitchen of open shelves, especially overly filled/cluttered ones. I KNOW they'd end up so quickly full of dust, maybe a little grease out of the air, and crumbs. Yes, crumbs. I find them in astonishing places in my kitchen. :-) And do you know the ONLY one who would empty shelves and wash everything down? Me. And not all that often, honestly. ;-D
ReplyDeleteBut display space, which I seriously underrated when designing my kitchen, is important...and fun.
