As i mentioned earlier we actually built our own kitchen cabinets.
Cabinets diy open shelving kitchen.
I liked the way it looked like an old farm kitchen since i was able to add a set of curtains to cover under the sink.
I chose to go with open shelving.
Live edge shelves are slabs of wood where some of the bark is still visible which will add a more rustic charm to your kitchen.
Build open shelving with a stained glass accent to open up the kitchen space while adding a decorative element.
Given the lower cabinets were only 18 5 deep our upper shelving was going to be relatively shallow we actually decided on an upper depth of 11 inches.
They add a great pop of color to the kitchen and ree has all of her favorite dishes within easy reach.
Ditching cabinets and embracing sleek shelves can help turn your kitchen into the open space you always dreamed about.
While i initially considered cabinetry to go over our diy lower cabinets i feared bulky upper cabinetry would make the small space feel overwhelmed and closed off after all we were working with some pretty narrow dimensions.
Plus i didn t have to waste wood for doors.
To make the most of your open shelving and to add visual height to your kitchen stack shelves high varying shelf height according to what will be stored.
Keep it simple if you view too many dishes out in the open as clutter in the kitchen consider only displaying those that you use most often keeping them on hand but clutter free.
Floating shelves in a farmhouse style kitchen are often made from stained or reclaimed wood which looks great in most spaces.
This saved a lot of money on wood as i didn t have to frame up every cabinet.
