Kitchens With Open Shelving

Posted by Andie on March 22, 2013

Do you ever find yourself flipping through magazines filled with spotless, perfect interiors and think to yourself, "What the heck am I doing wrong?! My home looks NOTHING like this!" I keep a pretty clean house, but I guarantee if you walked in right now you'd find cheerios on the kitchen floor (I have a 10 month old), toys strewn about, and a few dishes in the sink from breakfast. That's just real life, right?

While photos on design blogs and magazines are lovely and inspirational, very rarely do they accurately represent real life. Case in point: exposed kitchen shelving. In photos it looks pretty and minimal, but in my house it would be a complete disaster. I think it would look messy, cluttered, and I'm positive it would drive me nuts. So, what do you think? Would exposed shelving be a real possibility for your home?? And if the answer is yes, please teach me your ways!
