Kitchen Roundup ::: open shelving

Are you bold enough to show it all off with open shelving?  Or do you prefer to keep things behind closed doors?  I'm pretty obsessed with this look right now and I'll tell you why.  I love the simplicity of having everything I need/use regularly out in the open, on display.  I think it will actually help me stay tidy and organized because I can't just shut the cabinet door and hide it away.  This might be the solution to clearing out the clutter.  Of course bulkier small appliances can be tucked into lower cabinets.  Think about showing off your eclectic coffee mug collection or the cake platter handed down to you from your Grandmother. The possibility of using your kitchen (the room you probably spend the most time in) as another area to show off collections or heirlooms really speaks to me.  I think it will make the kitchen that much more inviting!
