Happy Day! It's Show & Tell Friday! S&T Friday is hosted by the ever gracious Kelli @ There is No Place Like Home.
So here are the open shelves in my kitchen. We've been working on a kitchen face lift and this area has been a trouble spot for me. On Tuesday, I shared how it had evolved. Well, after some feedback and appreciated suggestions, I continued to "play" with this and this is where I'm at "now". I still can't say I'm completely happy with it, but I think I'm getting closer :0).
I admit, I'm still in the throes of a creative brain fart, so your feedback is welcomed and appreciated!
So, this is how it looked as of Tuesday...
And here it is today...
I beefed up the second (from top) shelf and tweaked the third (from top) shelf as well.
Remember that half the joy of achievement is in the anticipation.

The white and the colors look very nice together.

I like your bowls, especially the one with the rolling pin leaning up against it.
Very attractive. Love the soup tureen.

I love it, it looks great!
Me too, I'm fixing things in my kitchen but I have a long way to go before it will be finished! Thanks for sharing and come visit me for my S&T.
Hi Rechelle!
It looks fabulous! I like the different papers you backed the shelves with. I really like the your little added touches on this post. I love how the soup terrine stands out against the red paper! Those shelves really make a kitchen I think, you can add so much personality.
Have a great weekend sweetie!
Big hugs, Sherry
What a great little cabinet! You've made it look very cozy. Love it!
It's a lovely cabinet with lovely treasures. I love how you arranged the items and have the paper up for a backdrop.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good Friday!
I think it looks like a "cabinetscape", honey!!! Yep, lovely. I just papered my china cabinet with scrapbooking paper and it looks so much better. There'll be a post about it this month sometime as I schedule them in advance.
Come visit for a giveaway for my 500th post.
Smooches,

Looks great, love rolling pins, those glasses, the soup tureen, I want one. lol
I always like to see shelves. Yours are very nice.

It looks great to me! Very pretty!
Looking good! There are several items on there that I would just love to have myself!
Excellent "eye" !
You arranged all your goodies so nicely. Thanks for stopping by my blog too.
You did a great job. I like the backgrounds, too.
That BHG cookbook is a classic. I destroyed my original copy with too much use and had to buy a second.
Thanks for the link to the puppy muffins, I am going to try them very soon! I just love your cabinets! and your puppies are so sweet.. you just want to give them a hug.
Thanks and I will be back.. Nice meeting you!

I really like the additional pieces you've added and I alway love a touch of ivy...I use it a lot. Hugs, Linda
Did you change your header? I love it. I love how you wallpapered? the back in different colors and displayed your things! Have fun playing with it:)
Isn't it fun to tweak and putter!!?! Your blog is really cute and I love your puppies! I have a white schnauzer that would love to play with them. :)
Happy New Year from Houston!
Rechelle...

I love your shelves and what a great idea to back the cabinet with gorgeous paper, I never would have thought of that!
Thanks for your warm welcome to S&T and for dropping by my blog.
Have a great week.
I think it looks beautiful, and my eye was immediately drawn to your pretty green glass. Everything you have displayed looks perfectly set off by the white wood of the shelves too. :-)
So cute! I love the second shelf with the cookbook, rolling pin and bowl. What about adding a clear jar with some flour like a baking section? Love it!
Thanks for commenting on my blog. I found the Wal-Mart bowls over in the regular bowls and not Christmas. I had given up finding them and was so excited. It doesn't take much!
Thanks for your comments on my blog! I love your shelf. It just looks so peaceful! Have a great weekend
Don't you just love blogging and exchanging ideas with each other! :)
I think it looks great!
Your shelf looks so pretty! Great job decorating it!
It's lovely.
Looks very nice. I love the variety on each shelf:)

You have your treasures arranged beautifully! I have the same cookbook. :0)

I like to change things every so often. So even if you find something you like remember you can change it again for fun. I think it looks nice though. Have a wonderful weekend.
I bet this was a tweak, tweak, tweak type of thing where you just kept playing with it till you got it just right. What fun. And it looks so nice.

Hi Rechelle! It's looking great! I'm forever tweaking arrangements... Can't wait to see your 'big Tv' room rearrangement - and I love your vintage postcards. So many from my neck of the woods! It's so funny to see addresses with no zip codes... Have a wonderful weekend!... Donna @ An Enchanted Cottage
I love how you arranged all your pretties and the shelf looks great! Love the picture of your dog in the post below too.
Rechelle; You are doing a great job on your cupboards. I love the open ones. Every thing looks so pretty.

HiRechelle,
Looks great after you tweaked it :)
I'm working on tweaking my shelf and am looking over the house for the right item...
Hope you are having a great weekend.
Warmly,
Deb
Now it really pops! I love it! Thanks for sharing the new pics. xxoo
Your shelves look great!
Looks great to me either way. I am partial to the first pic though, only becaue having more space around the items makes them appear more important.
Have a great week!
I like how it looks after you tweaked it. Looks wonderful!
Hi Rechelle, I just dropped by to leave a 'thinking of you' message. Have a fabulous day.
Hugs...Jeanne
That looks amazing. I love the green glass especially.
Open shelving has such charm to me...your's is precious...and the tweaking that you did looks makes it all look just perfect...have a beautiful day!
Hello, I'm making PInk Saturday and Blue Monday visits and found my way to you. Love that shelf! Your other posts were cute too! Your dog is adorable, so sorry to see that you lost your other dog in Dec. Hugs to you.
Bless You, Shirl

Hi Rechelle, Love your shelves. They look so cheery!
I need to do some tweaking myself. Have you noticed the tweaking is always in January?
Love, Ann
Your shelf is wonderful I love it.
I have awarded you the Honest Scrap Award you can stop buy and pick it up.
Just checking in with you since you have not posted in awhile. Hope all is okay in your neck of the woods.
Your kitchen is really coming along beautifully, Rechelle. The shelves look great, and I love the rolling pin, so don't even *think* about changing it :o) I'm about halfway through painting my cabinets now (black, which is coming out gorgeous) and can't wait to get my crown molding up to bring a little drama to the dropped ceiling.
Have a great week!
Victoria
