The Open-Shelf Kitchen

Year-round8 pieces

Open shelves work when everything on them is used weekly. Mixing bowls, a pitcher, the olive oil. If it only comes down for company, it goes in a cabinet.

Stoneware on the top shelf, wood on the counter. The crock holds six spoons and the walnut board leans against the tile. Hooks by the door for aprons and the market bag.

Keep it to white, wood, and glass. The food adds the color.
