Open Shelves

Recently when my sister Lindsay was over at our house she asked why we hadn't put open shelves in the empty wall space between our upper cabinets, considering our seriously small amount of kitchen storage.

Honestly, it had never occurred to us! After she put that idea in our heads, we got right to work planning the type of shelves we wanted to build. Originally, the plan was to build a dish rack like the picture below, but we ended up deciding to go with two simple shelves instead.

Levi did a great job building and staining these shelves! We love how they turned out!

I found an awesome vintage kitchen scale at a market recently, and, to top it off, Lindsay gave me new dishes for my birthday, so the look is complete!

Please ignore the strange lighting, it was night so there was no natural light!
