I have had some requests to talk about ---
ABOVE kitchen cabinets.
The majority of the photos that I share with you are just from regular everyday people's houses --- each with their own style, and using items they already have.
This homeowner loves the cottage look!
BEFORE
AFTERThe changes here are subtle but do make a difference.
We took down the gerber daisies to make
the colors more simple,
and created a little grouping with the teapot and cup.
It feels less cluttered
The little pink roses go nicely with the pattern on the china.

This cabinet felt like a little too much was there.

AFTERWe took down the extra flowers and just kept the little pink roses with the greenery. To create more of a group I pulled the two white plates back, and closer together.

It is always pleasing to use odd numbers.

so many items lined up.
It is always pleasing to use odd numbers.
So when you are trying to decide what to place on the tops of your kitchen cabinets---
Try these 3 tips:
1. Use items that have a particular theme or color
2. Place them in groupings
3. Add some type of natural element
(here we used greenery and little pink roses)
Take a look at what Julia has going at Hooked on Fridays.

...so I just took down all of the upper cabinets. Problem solved.
Nice job!
The kitchen cabinets images shown in the post are really excellent.
Kitchen cabinets make quick work of all storage problems in the kitchens. One can store crockery, cutlery, pots and pans to recipe books in these modern kitchen cabinets.
