Monday Pinspiration: {Open Shelving}

Good Monday morning to you!  Hope you had a great weekend! 

Today I have rounded up my favorite photos from Pinterest that feature some amazing inspiration for open shelving in the kitchen!  We have open shelving in our breakfast nook and I love it!  It was by far one of the easiest DIY projects I have done and probably my most favorite!  I really think that the shelves, paired with my huge plate rack, really make the space...

Here are some of my favorites found on Pinterest:

Am I the only one ready to rip out my cabinets and add shelves everywhere?  I think the only thing keeping me from it is the fact that I would have to dust twice a day! What about you?

Enjoy your week!

 

 

Valentine's Day {Easy Teacher Gift}

Hello loves!
On Friday I shared some frugal and fabulous finds.  If you missed that post, you can check it out HERE!  I featured some adorable ceramic canisters, just like the ones that Anthropologie sells...only these are a fraction of the price!  I picked up a few to keep and a few to give as gifts.

Check out all these fun colors...

I grabbed a large, red one to use as a teacher gift for Valentine's day. I used a chalk pen to write the teacher's name on it and filled it with her favorite candy....

I used a clear bag, a chalkboard gift tag (left over from Christmas from the dollar spot at Target) and some twine to wrap it all up....

I think it turned out really cute!  These would make great birthday, Christmas, housewarming and hostess gifts as well! The possibilities are endless...I think I am going to go grab a few more before they are all gone!

Hope you have a fabulous Valentine's day! XOXO

Pretty Things {Ceramic Berry Baskets}



I have been a little obsessed with these ceramic berry baskets since I saw them at Anthropologie a few months ago. I knew when I started collecting items to style my breakfast nook shelves with, I had to include a few of these!

 

Here they are looking pretty on my shelf paired with a few other goodies.  One day I may use them, but for now they are for looks only! Wouldn't they be great to use for entertaining or gift giving?  Valentine's day is right around the corner...chocolate covered strawberries would be perfect wrapped up in one of these!  Of course, they could just be used for holding fruit in the fridge, but the possibilities are endless!

 

 

 

 

I decided on the white ones to keep things looking clean, but I did a little shopping for you and found some awesome colors from different retailers!
