Kitchen Inspiration – Open Shelving

July 26, 2011

KITCHEN INSPIRATION:
Open Shelving
In each house the hubby and I have had (we are on our 3rd-about to move to 4th), 
we’ve had at least some sort of open shelving and I love it!

–It makes easy access to my go-to items.
I’m all about easy when you have babies at your feet or cooking/baking during nap time

–Motivates me to cook/bake something homemade when there is pretty ingredients jarred or fresh produce out.
I love how it looks but also how it gets you feeling like whipping something up fresh!


–Keeps me on top of staying organized. 
It helps when everything has a place!


–Is a perfect storage solution for small kitchens.

Keeps the space feeling open..and uses empty vertical space!

–I love having the dishes out, showcasing 
some of my favorite pieces.
We were gifted with so many pottery barn pieces from our wedding.
I loveee dishes, bowls, pitchers..
I wish I had a huge kitchen to store them but our small 
space keeps me from buying anything else..sort of. ;)

    I love open shelving, but sadly I don’t have any. But maybe I should. With kids I’m quickly opening cabinets to get bowls and bottles….but yet I never close them. My husband hates it. Haha.

    We don’t have any, but I’m pleased with our kitchen (I’m actually going to do a post with pictures of ours next week). I would love open shelving though because we have all white, classic dishware. It would be nice to showcase them.

    Good luck with your move! We moved once and I hope we never have to again, it was so much work :0

    I love open shelving. And you are so right it does help with organization and keeps what you have in the forefront of your mind for quick baking inspiration. We don’t have any open shelving but I adore it and would love to have some. I do have a pantry that is screaming for a makeover that remains hidden behind bi-fold doors. This tiny space may become my new open shelving. If so I will post pics to show you! Good luck with your move. :)
