We have a single cabinet on the wall between the kitchen & family room that already felt a little out of place, so we decided it would be a good spot for shelves. We have some brick on a few walls in the kitchen, and part of it is on this wall, so we weren’t quite sure what kind of mess we would get ourselves in by trying to take some of it down, but we were hopeful that it wouldn’t be too hard! Brandon & my dad were able to get the cabinet down earlier this week, and using a dremmel, cut through all of the brick that wrapped around the corner of the wall. After a little plaster work & sanding, we have a blank canvas for painting & installing shelves this weekend! Here is a little before picture, and a progress picture, I can’t wait to share the finished product!
Are you a fan of open shelving?! These are a few of my favorite inspiration photos that I have been looking at along the way. I love the idea of floating shelves, but they can be a bit tricky in terms of holding a lot of weight, we would have needed to anchor them inside of the studs behind the drywall, which wasn’t an option here. So, we are on the hunt for the perfect bracket hardware, I am leaning towards brass/gold, I love the look of mixed metals.

I've been lusting over these Ikea brackets for a while now for our kitchen, but I'm too afraid to drill into our tile backsplash to mount them! You could always spray paint them brass or gold to go with your decor!

truth, you assume that there is such a thing as reality (ultimate or otherwise) – it is that assumption that is creating the problem, the suffering for you.

Look at Fixer Upper kitchens 🙂 I love Chip & Jo and her style is amazing. Lots of white and floating shelves.
We love open shelving in ours kitchen! We have used the Ekby brackets from IKEA in our last and current kitchen. (If my husband didn't hate gold toned things I would have brass probably)We have a mix of upper cabinetry and open shelving and I think it works really well.

It will look so good on that wall!! An updated house tour would be great to see and read about. And also, which color paints have you used in the dining room?!
Can't wait to see it come together!
Oh that just made me laugh so hard! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jessica,
Have you seen the brackets from west elm? I put these in a clients master bath and they hold quite a bit of weight. In my interior designer opinion I think they would be perfect in your space! I love the idea of having open shelving to freshen up an old and oddly placed piece of cabinetry. Good luck from Seattle Washington!

Love that last kitchen! Hope all goes well with your project x
I think the open shelving will be beautiful!! We are building a home this spring & I want some open shelving, too!! 🙂 good luck!
Open shelving is a must in our home when we get to that point. I love that wood with white, it's good contrast!
Check these out they are goregous! Especially in the gold! (http://www.rejuvenation.com/catalog/products/small-strap-shelf-bracket)
Huge fan! I'm planning on doing the same in our kitchen! Can't wait to see your finished product!
Yes! We have open shelving for all of our uppers (no cabinets), and I love the look of it. I can't wait to see the end result!
can't wait to see finished project and what kind of bracket you end up using! we just put some shelves up in our bedroom and did something like the second picture, but I sprayed painted the brackets gold! I'm in LOVE with them! So…I think that's what you should do! I also think it fits perfectly in your house 🙂
Love the inspiration photos! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
