Thank you for all the great comments on my post yesterday!

Y’all were cracking me up about my big girl panties!

Some of you encouraged me to put them on and get busy.

Some of you told me to hike ‘em up get ‘er done!

And one of you even asked to borrow them….awkward!   (You know who you are!)

Well, I decided that not only am I going to paint them, but I am going to take some of them down!

Yep!  I unscrewed those babies, and took them off the wall!

I am planning on making and installing café shelves on both sides of the window.

I am going to make ones like I did for my previous kitchen, but they will be white.

You can see the tutorial HERE.

So here is what my kitchen looked like last night…

And tonight it looks like this…

Here it is from the other side last night…

And now…

It already looks so much bigger and brighter!  I cannot wait to see it with the shelves. 

I have been pinning a bunch of pictures on Pinterest of kitchens with open shelves.  Here are some of my favorite…

I love the white shelves and the gray/blue cabinets on the bottom in this one….

The picture below gets me excited about decorating my shelves for Christmas…

Lastly, here is a very raw video of removing the kitchen cabinets.

(It seems that someone always leaves a comment about my “accent”.  I didn’t realize it was so thick.   Glad I can make y’all laugh!  Love ya!)
