I've been working on another kitchen storage area!
This time I worked on one of the built-in cabinets.

The cabinet is floor-to-ceiling with shallow shelving on the front,
two of the front sections have doors and one section has open shelving.

Behind these sections is a trash/recycling area (broom closet), accessed from the side. This area might be be adapted for more storage in the future, too.
I painted the open cabinet back panel in the past, but the shelves were always a catch-all for all sorts of things. I decided to use it more purposely
to display useful and decorative blue and white pieces!
The closed shelving (still painted the old green color) is being used as a
small pantry. It actually holds quite a bit for such narrow shelving!

My round glass canisters are slightly too big for this area,
but big square jars will work.
It's so nice to have some pretty display space!
It will be fun to change out seasonally through the year!

I've started using the Woodpecker Wood Ware recipe box
to hold some much used recipes.
And look at this fun matching cutting board I found at the thrift store this week! Have you seen one before? I hadn't!
Love this old "Greetings From Norway" plate...
These towels are so soft and absorbent...you can find them in my
Slowly, but surely, we are getting things arranged...
If you missed it, be sure to catch up with my
Kitchen Storage Solutions post, too!
Until next time...
Linda, I love that skinny pantry. Gosh I need one desperately. That is suppose to be our winter project this year. Fingers crossed. I love the background color of the open shelves. No I have never seen a cutting board like that. I have seen a recipe box. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Susie! We plan on building a small pantry in the future, but right now this one is so helpful!
DeleteI love it, Linda!! What a great use of a narrow space! I would probably have it full of spices...or cookbooks! You have a great eye for design!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie! Oh how I wish my cookbook collection could go there...but the shelves are only 6-1/2" deep!
DeleteI'm still brainstorming for that perfect place!
I love your blue and white pieces on the blue background. The cutting board is a darling. Catching up on your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie! I am enjoying the blue and white in this kitchen!
DeleteHi Linda! So nice to have a visit from you! I'm starting to forget how fun the old days of blogging were. But I'm still at it now and then. I love your new display shelf space. Just the right size to keep up with. And the blues are so nice. Some of my people have just moved to Wisconsin, so I will be thinking of you folks up north more than ever. Happy last of summer days!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jacqueline! So nice to hear from you, too...and it's fun to catch up with you on Instagram!
DeleteLove how you've styled this! Wish I had more open cabinets:) xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathleen! When we bring our refrigerator, we'll have to remove a bank of cabinets that stretches over the stove...hoping to have some nice open shelving added there!
DeleteLinda this cabinet is awesome. Love the display shelf just awesome. You have some great treasures to display. Have a great rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Thank you, Kris! It's fun to have a little space for pretties...
DeleteWhat a great spot to put some pretties! Love the matching cutting board - I've never seen one before either! I love the narrow shelves too - nothing to get lost behind something else. It's coming together!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cecilia! We're getting there!
DeleteYour kitchen is so pretty and I love all the blue and white! That cutting board was an incredible find. Where have I been...I had no idea one could open a shop on amazon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melanie! We are loving the blue and white! The Amazon shop has been fun for me!
DeleteLove all of your treasures and what a great storage piece. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura...it's working out nicely!
ReplyDeleteI love that little hidden narrow space. It really does hold a lot and that blue and white is dreamy. It's becoming my new obsession!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kim! The space behind it is so useful, too!
DeleteLinda, it looks perfectly lovely!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cecilia! It's fun to have a place to put a few pretties!
DeleteLove the blue and white...so fresh!
