I have been loving the look of open cabinets or shelving in the kitchen for sometime now...coveting all that I've been seeing on Pinterest.
Like this one...
or this one...
Although I don't have white cabinetry in my kitchen (I really wish I did!), I decided to take off a couple of my cabinet doors this week just to see if I could live with the look in my own home.
First I had to take out a lot of the dishes and glassware that just wasn't pretty enough to be on display fulltime.
Then, since McG wasn't home, I had my son help me to take off the doors. I took everything out, wiped down all the shelves and then put back in what we would need on a day to day basis. The rest got sorted through and some was sent to the goodwill and some was relegated to another spot in the kitchen.
I added an EAT sign, that looks more like a FAT sign in this photo.
I really should have taken it from a better angle I guess!!
I am living with it for now, tweaking it daily. If I decide to keep it like this I will be papering the back for some added fun, but right now I'm just not sure it's for me. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the look when it is done with white cabinetry and this might be something I do in the next house...as McG is still adamant that I am not painting these cabinets.
I guess I will have to work on him some more!!
Do you have open shelving in your kitchen? Is it something that you would consider doing?
I'd LOVE to hear from you!
