Today is White Wednesday at Faded Charm and I am joining Kathleen's party with pictures from the kitchen at the lakehouse. Last year about this time we gutted the kitchen and I wanted open shelving. I have posted these pictures before, but I am sure that many of you didn't get a chance to see them. I change things around a lot too, and I will have to take some updated pictures soon.My everyday dishes are Basket Weave by Gibson. You can't see the cabinets below, but they are painted a greyish green called Painted Turtle by Behr.
These shelves are to the left of the sink where I keep the glassware. The pendant lights are from Home Depot.
These are two teacups that are part of the china I keep at the lakehouse. It's by Johan Haviland. The colors go perfectly with the white shelves and grey/green cabinets.Visit Kathleen to see more entries for White Wednesday. And remember today is the last day of the giveaway for the shadowbox. Good luck to all!

How fun! I love the look of open shelves. Gives us a chance to appreciate all the everyday objects that are so pretty.

Hi there! Open shelves in the kitchen is such a great idea! Displays all your goodies - makes me want more shelves!!

Not sure if leaving this comment gives me another entry in your giveaway...but I love the simple colors of your beach house dishes....very "beachy"!
Hi Jane,
Everytime you mention your lake house I practically drool...no maybe I do drool. I will try and control myself.
I love the white dishware on your shelves, it looks so pretty and neat, especially with those rebel bowls showing their red on top.
Enjoy your day, and as always I have enjoyed my visit.
Maryrose

Your shelves are wonderful and I love the way you've arranged things!
Happy Weekend, Jane!
Jane, I just LOVE open shelving. Your choice of colors are my new faves, too.
Off to New Orleans to 1) new me now that my son is 21! 2) work. Will post daily about my OWN personal redo! It's time!!!
I love those shelves - wonderful. Love how sturdy they look - are they that thickness, or is that a front rail to prevent things from falling?
In my house the upper shelves would soon be dusty - I don't know how you do it.
Oh, how I would love to have a tour of your lake house! It looks so bright and lovely, Jane. Seriously! Is this giveaway still open? I'm off to check it out! :)
Hugs,
Nikki
Jane so sorry to miss your giveaway, I have just had one of those weeks!! I just love to visit you thogu, and I will have a new post up by Sunday!

Always rearranging...
I love it!
What a prize - love open shelving - just wish I could manage it. I love seeing what folks use on a day-to-day basis. How good it would be to have items so readily available and avoid the hunt. This is a challenge for me - now if I could find a spot to make this happen. Here's to a great month of May.
Love the open shelving at your lake house...it gives it such a relaxed feeling.
