Styling Open Kitchen Cabinets
Today, I’m Sharing How I Styled Our Open Kitchen Cabinets… On A Budget!
Last week, I shared my newly naked cabinets.

I even spilled my “cheap secret”.
If you are a regular reader, you know I like… What?
Cheap & Easy!
Yep, that’s me 😉
I used Dollar Tree shelf liner
to freshen up the cabinet backs!
I got a lot of really nice comments on this little project, and those comments sure are nice to hear.
Thank you so much for that!!
But a few were from people who felt like they couldn’t get this type of look in their home.
To which I immediately wanted to respond with;
“Yes you can!”
But instead of telling you.
I am going to show you.
Here is the break down of my shelf contents;
1. Sugar Bowl, Ross. $2.99

4a. Plate, Ross. $1.99

19. French Butter Keeper, Tag Sale. $2.00
20. Rhinestone Tea Pot, Ross. $12.99
See? Not one expensive item – Mostly discount and thrift store finds.
So, approximately $150~ for 6 shelves full of kitchen and decor items. Many of which are functional items we actually use, as well as decor I move around. Here on these shelves, in the kitchen and on the bar in the sun room.
Keep in mind too, that a lot of this has been gathered over time.
And you might notice, I buy white again and again.
I do that because it does not have to match in pattern, or even in style, but you can place it together,
and it always works.
Which worked out great, because I didn’t buy anything new to fill these shelves when I took the doors off.
I hope this was useful information.
I was happy to break it all down and share what it cost to get the “look”.

Fabulous information!! I have a china cabinet that i fill with all sorts of glass collections and I just adore it. It didn’t cost me much of anything. I just love your white dishes and silver trays. Would you mind posting this to my Making Space Mondays party?

That background paper is great. I’ve been transitioning to white dishes for the last couple of years. Looking at this makes me think I have done the right thing!
