how amazing does this picture of open shelving look? gosh, i wish that i would be bold/ clean/ organized enough to be able to pull something like this off. i think it looks fabulous!! and i heart shelving where you need a ladder to scroll across in order to reach something!

This is wonderful for a collector! And somehow makes the maniacal organizer in me feel I might never rest! :)

And yet it is still artfully disheveled. I could not keep it up myself, but envy this kitchen owner.

There is this place in france that my mom frequents that looks like this - they have all "seconds" and "imperfects" of pottery for you to buy. Plates that retail for $55 in the states are like $10 a plate!! I will blog about that at some point in my blog...just need to get some pictures of them...

but if you love it than you'd just make best friends with your swiffer duster and love happily ever after!

I've been working up my courage for about 25 years now! My next redo is the kitchen. I'm going to cover the walls in sheet mirrors and use chrome metro shelves. Everything open except—gasp—for cabinets I using gladiator rolling cabinets with workbenches top with butcher block other in stainless. I'm 59 years old—too old for beige and not enough time to find things stuck in cabinets. My friends think I've lost my mind...I think I've just found it!
