Okay --- I am still working on putting things together at my new home, I promise to get you pictures soon. For now here are a few ideas for above your kitchen cabinets---
Here are a few ideas for above the kitchen cabinets or on shelves in the kitchen. We used fresh GREEN and WHITE --- which is a nice way to give you a lift in the middle of winter!
These were just regular plates out of her kitchen cabinet, we just propped them up as part of the display.
Notice the odd numbers and the different heights. We also added a couple of natural elements
---the ball with little green berries and the small twig ball.
This was on a shelf in the same kitchen. The clock has similar decorative iron, and a little greenery softens it up.
This grouping is in 3's and the green artichoke follows the theme color.
More white plates out of the kitchen cupboard with a little green grass and a green candle.
Above the cabinets, a large platter works because of the high ceiling.
We made a grouping of 3 ---added some greenery
and the ornamental iron ties in with the other pieces in the kitchen.
We did all of this using what the homeowner had in her home already.Try a few plates from your cupboard with a little greenery and see what you can come up with!
Go and take a look at some fun posts.

Sometimes, something as small as a shelf with a redesign can lift your spirits.
It is always so nice in January to redo something!
This is my shelf BEFORE and I liked it okay-but wanted to make a few little changes.
I shopped for the red pot in my bedroom, the little pears and the red berries were mixed in a bottle of all kinds of fruit and gourds that I picked up at a yard sale this summer for a dollar!The candles were at a thrift store .50 cents each as well as the little holders.
And the green plate was .75 cents.
Everything else was already on the shelf.
You can hardly notice but I did paint the wall a lovely warm gold.
Before it was a washed on light yellow.

I did buy the leaves and berries on the candles new, but on clearance.
It felt so great!!
A little redesign at so little cost.
So take an hour and redecorate a shelf in your home ---
You will feel great!!

Just a quick BEFORE and AFTER
The Brown wall BEFORE
We changed it up a bit by adding a shelf.Notice the same family photo, but now with a few more details and interesting items.
We created somewhat of a theme based around a family vacation and items that they brought home. The fabric really adds a homey feel. Also notice how we have different heights on the shelf. And see how just propping up some framed photos works very nicely.
For more BEFORE and AFTERS go to Metamorphosis Monday

Sometimes a wall in the kitchen just needs something.
This homeowner loves teapots and had some china that she really wanted to have in her kitchen.
Before the wall was empty . . . just waiting for the right fit.
The shelf by itself was not quite big enough.So we added the ornamental iron on each side. It created just the right balance for the space.
Notice the group of three on the shelf, and the natural elements (flowers and greenery)
The lace added a fabric element to the shelf and the ornamental iron mimics the lace feel.The homeowner was so happy because she now has such a nice focal point in the kitchen and it has items that she loves!
Go to Between Naps on the Porch for some great Transformations!

Step #1Collect the items you want to have on the shelf.
It can be a theme or just items that you love.You can prop pictures and layer them on the shelf.
Step #2Place items at different heights.
Step #3Make groupings rather than lining things up.
Step #4Use odd numbers, 1's 3's 5's.
Step #5Ideally, you want to create a unit or a focal point.
Hanging pictures along with the shelf works well.
