Open Shelving in the Kitchen

by Anna M
For the last 5 years I have wanted open shelving in my kitchen. I love the way it looks, it’s clean, organized, decorative and functional. In our last house I faked it by just taking the cabinet doors off and painting the back of the cabinet, but in our new house I wanted open shelving for REAL!
What do you think of the new open shelves? Are you a fan of open shelving, yay or neh?
This is what they looked like before. I have officially waged war on my kitchen and have begun to makeover the most used space in our house!
We began by taking down the old cabinet and hanging the shelves. Find out why I didn't paint the wall behind the shelves and where I purchased the shelves at the link below!
Here are my future plans for our kitchen. Follow me to see the progress!

    Anna, You are doing the Island black? With all the white do you think it might be too much of a difference? What is your backsplash going to be? I am really anxious to see your final look. I am so happy for you. I am still waiting to get mine done. We have been dealing with illness.

    Love your plan, esp the black island. Love open shelves, but not cleaning them! Had 20' open soffit for years with assorted decor: plants, pottery, pictures. Loved it, but the cleaning---ugh!
