Finishing Touches

I love the latest kitchen trend of floating shelves (a la Pure Design with Samantha Pynn below), creating an open & airy feel. Unfortunately in our small kitchen, foregoing all upper cabinets  for open shelving wasn't an option. We did however have a blank wall of dead space above the peninsula that was perfect for a few small shelves. They're great for displaying cookbooks, cups & saucers, decorative bits and everyday crystal.
