Kitchen Style: Open Shelving

Open-shelving PRO: It looks great and it's practical because it's easy to see what you have and forces you not to just shove things away into hiding.

Open-shelving CON: Dust =extra work, like dusting each item - and around the items - to get the shelf clean, rinsing off each item before use. Can look cluttered. 

The pros and cons are even in my book, and the winner is always 

compromise: 

put up as much open shelving as you can comfortably maintain.

If you have the self-discipline to keep the colors and items 

as orderly as these then go for this pretty, stylish kitchen:

Here the discipline is far less rigid and

 the look is an updated, smart, friendly look:

I absolutely LOVE this stove shelf for the kitchen:

Open shelving for a pretty collection of tea-time vessels:

 Charming:

Glass-fronted cabinets are another option...
Have a great day!
