Shelves for My Kitchen

I want to add some open shelving in my kitchen corner.


I like the brackets/corbels in this Southern Accents kitchen I posted before





I also like the look of these shelves and brackets in this home.



Coastal Living

I have some pretty white and green dishes that are currently "hidden" in the cupboard.


Here is what that corner of my kitchen looks like, now.

Here is a painting I created of that same corner.




One more photo of the same corner.




And here is my vision of the corner with the shelves.





What do you think?

I will obviously find a new home for my black flower poster -it seemed to clutter that corner a bit, anyway.


I really like the heavy wood look for the brackets. At Lowe's the brackets that I like are $9, each! That surprised me. (Not that $36 is going to break the bank.)
I painted my kitchen 10 years ago, when we first renovated the house.
I still like the green, but am probably so used to seeing it that I don't notice how out of style it may be. Oh, well - I don't plan to change the paint color, anytime soon.
........But maybe the 10-year-old toile curtains and the light fixture could use an update. I love drum shades, but hate to go with anything too trendy or it will look dated before I know it! Perhaps drum shaped chandelier shades?

I say do it! It's always nice to have a change and freshen things up. Think of it this way... it will inspire you... and that's great for your painting right?!

I think you should! My husband just put shelves like those up in our pantry and although I use them for storage, it would be a wonderful way to showcase all your cute things :)

Your drawings and your post is so good! Did all that talent come from your mother?

I'm not qualified to advise you on the shelves. But I like the floor, the table, and the green. I know I can't see everything from the picture but things seem kind of heavy on the left. I want something else on the right to pull my eye in that direction.

I think your painting of the room in a knock-out.
I think with new shelves the green in your walls will pop and look awesome!
