If you are lucky enough to have this space above your cabinets then you may have the love, hate relationship that I do.  I always wanted more space to decorate. When we built I wanted the space above the cabinets so I could put "cute things."  Sometimes, when I have to clean up there, I wonder what I was thinking.  I love the look, but cleaning the grease and dust mixture off my faux plants and other items is really gross.  (Do people still say gross?)  Anyway here is what I like to do with my tops.  Over the cooking area...


Over the fridge...

Over this funny cabinet...


On the other side...

And in the corner...

I have a thing about cabinet tops.  I like to make little vignettes at different points and not just cover all the area with stuff.  I like to give your eye a place to stop and rest, so the speak.  


Now they are all clean up there for another year.  Ha.  I wish!  
What do your cabinet tops look like?  Do they need a little attention?
 
Mine are empty and dusty! I've been thinking for a long time what I want to do. . . hmm. I's thinking some vinyl words in black (like sautee, mix, stir, etc). Still can't decide. ?
ReplyDeletePretty and interesting displays you have! My cupboards go all the way to the ceiling, but I have a large collection of vintage style tins I'd put up there. Also vintage canning jars.
ReplyDeleteAfter a year our cabinet tops are still vacant just waiting for some pertties to call them home. Everything looks great! Now come help me with mine if ya get a chance!;)
