How to Decorate Kitchen Shelves Beautifully
Open shelving can be very intimidating, which is why I want to share my easy process to decorate kitchen shelves that turn out stunning. FAQ about decorating kitchen shelves Before we get into the process I use to decorate shelves I want to address a few common questions concerning kitchen open shelves. Are open shelves still in style? They made a comeback in the early 2000’s and so it makes sense to ask if it’s a trend that is on it’s way out, or if it’s sticking around for a while. Open shelves have made a few transitions since they were first reintroduced. You used to mainly see farmhouse kitchen…

Is it me or does a staircase decorated with garland have such a magical effect? There is just something classic and simple about a banister with Christmas garland draped on it. We don’t have a long banister on our stairs, but we have one. So I have to drape it with garland to usher in the Christmas season.
