  1. My husband built open shelves for me. I love them! Love the pictures you chose to share! They have given me some new ideas. He might not like the ideas! Lol

  2. I like the way open cabinetry looks, but I hate the way it "lives". We had them in our first home, and I did not like having to take everything off the shelves every week to clean.

    I also didn't like feeling compelled to arrange everything to look artsy, or even just tidy.

    I couldn't wait to get my daily essentials back behind closed doors!

  3. I love all the open shelving. All the kitchen are so beautiful with all the open shelving.
    It's a great way to keep everything neat.

  4. You found some great examples here, Brenda. I don't have a lot of overhead cabinets but I do have a lot of lower ones. I wanted windows wherever I could get them. xo Diana

  5. Brenda, those are good points. It saved me at least 5000 not to have upper cabinets or lower cabinets on one side. I also like that I can see the plates and cups that I use in my tiny kitchen, so it encourages me to not accumulate. It makes the small space more open. Like you wrote, my sisters come over and help themselves; they don't have to ask to which cabinet.

  6. I love the open shelving instead of cabinets, but it just won't work for me. I cook so much food on a daily basis and I just don't thing it looks that good. My pantry is down stairs so I keep as much upstairs as possible. I have removed two of the door on my larger cabinets, just haven't shared yet. Love the openness, also wish i could hang my pots/pans, but doesn't work in my kitchens' layout. Never heard of the web site before.

  7. For convenience, love the set up where the plates are close to the stove and eating area. Very handy! Also, love the spacious look of all the open shelves. It is much better than cabinets. The aqua lighting in one of the pictures sure did catch my eye! Such a pretty color.
