Hi there! Open shelves in the kitchen is such a great idea! Displays all your goodies - makes me want more shelves!!
BTW, I have the same sweet old Bessie Guttman Pease print of the darling little child in the rocking chair. It is so precious - I've had it for many years and I still love it - makes me smile...
I love open shelving. There's such a relaxed charm to that type of decorating.
To address your comment...yes, we do indeed live hectic lives, currently. More so than I care for. But, I'm trying to look on the positive side. Traveling to places I've never been before is fun. ;)
Keep leaving those comments to be entered in the giveaway!

[Image]Today is White Wednesday at Faded Charm and I am joining Kathleen's party with pictures from the kitchen at the lakehouse. Last year about this time we gutted the kitchen and I wanted open shelving. I have posted these pictures before, but I am sure that many of you didn't get a chance to see them. I change things around a lot too, and I will have to take some updated pictures soon.
My everyday dishes are Basket Weave by Gibson. You can't see the cabinets below, but they are painted a greyish green called Painted Turtle by Behr. [Image]These shelves are to the left of the sink where I keep the glassware. The pendant lights are from Home Depot. [Image]These are two teacups that are part of the china I keep at the lakehouse. It's by Johan Haviland. The colors go perfectly with the white shelves and grey/green cabinets.
Visit Kathleen to see more entries for White Wednesday. And remember today is the last day of the giveaway for the shadowbox. Good luck to all!

Off to New Orleans to 1) new me now that my son is 21! 2) work. Will post daily about my OWN personal redo! It's time!!!
April 30, 2010 at 10:05 AM
I love those shelves - wonderful. Love how sturdy they look - are they that thickness, or is that a front rail to prevent things from falling?
In my house the upper shelves would soon be dusty - I don't know how you do it.
April 30, 2010 at 10:24 AM
