Years ago I took the doors off of the old cabinets because, well, apparently, it was a great amount of effort for the other people who live here to shut them after taking something out of them. It now looks like I have shelves and I love it.

We had a new kitchen installed a couple of years ago and I was adamant that I didn't want open shelving for the whole dust and grime reason, or glass doors, because I'd spend way too much time deciding how I wanted things displayed. I don't regret my decision, but I do love the look of open shelves, and displays.<br /><br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-40141980990224487992011-06-18T02:10:58.354+01:002011-06-18T02:10:58.354+01:00I love open shelves, but as you say for useful eve...I love open shelves, but as you say for useful everyday things. When my daughter and I were redoing her 1950's kitchen cabinets and had one side of the doors off, it looked so much like a hutch, we kept them off, plus that was that many less doors to heat strip and sand, lol. She hadn't been married that long so all of her everyday dishes coordinate so prettily and guest can see clearly where to grab what they need!<br />LezleePriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13487173362830571158noreply@blogger.com
