Shelves!!!

So I figured out what I’m going to do with my blank wall in my kitchen (where the mantle currently is). I was looking through a Better Homes and Garden publication at Heidi’s house this past weekend and got my idea. It’s simple but clever. Shelves!!
Just put a few open shelves on that wall to display pretty dishes, photos, potted herbs, elephant watering cans, and baskets for vitamins and such.

And I have assigned the aunts the mission of finding me a desk for my ‘office’ area. They are frequent auction shoppers and thought that they would be able to find one with character that would be nice for that space. And when I get one I can set up my lamp and actually be able to turn a light on quickly when I enter my house rather than stumbling up the stairs till I find one (light switch works an outlet by my office).
