I love shelves.

I do.  Especially in kitchens.  Lucky for me (well, planned by me, haha) we're going to have a bunch!  You've probably already seen the skeleton of the new base shelves that Matt and his dad put in last weekend (post is here).  I've also mentioned in passing that we're converting the tiny kitchen pantry to a tiny built-in bookcase.  We'll also be adding upper shelves in the kitchen. 

Here are some awesome kitchens with open shelving:

 The baskets on the lower shelves are so cute.

 The pictures on the shelves are such a cool touch

I love the white cabinets and white dishes

I love the green door and green dishes.

These photos have been my inspiration for me.  Hopefully our kitchen will turn out half as lovely as these did!
