Kitchen Organization & Shelves

How about some color on those kitchen shelves?
I've always loved seeing how others organize their
homes - in particular the kitchen. If you plan to
have open shelving in your kitchen, you know that
it needs to always be somewhat organized. I love the
pops of colors by mugs brought on by mugs and
dishware.

A monochromatic color scheme will always
work as well - especially when it's all whites
and creams. You can't really go wrong when
using a monochromatic theme.

I absolutely love how the shiny dark floors
contrast with the rest of the bright kitchen.
I'm a huge fan of FireKing, so I think the
Jadeite on the shelves are just perfect.

Even if you have a small pantry such as the one
above, you can still organize it in an aesthetic way
using uniform bottles and containers. The clock and
chalkboard really completes the classic look.

White ceramics and glassware will always
go with a white farmhouse sink.

Now this kitchen has no shortage of storage and
cabinets. The green backed shelves are a nice
touch - as well as the hardware on the cabinets.
Labeled containers always have that nostalgic
and vintage feel to it - giving character to any
space.

Here's another example where something as simple as
putting some color onto the back of shelves can really
make a difference.

Not everything has to be uniform to create
an aesthetically pleasing space, this pantry
has very different items in it but they are
spaced out and arranged just right on the
shelves so as not to seem too crowded or
cluttered.


I've always loved some glass for the facing of top
cabinets. It just makes the space seam airier and
more open.

This is the shelving in Sally Wheat's Kitchen (a friend of
Joni from Cote De Texas and a great designer.) Joni has
some great posts on Sally's home. I really love gray and
the dove gray really goes nicely with the white subway
tiles.

Now here's a colorful space.

A modern take on a traditional look complete with beaded
boards on the back of the cabinets. It's quite lovely.

This kitchen has mixture of closed and open cabinetry.
What is your kitchen organization like?
