Shelves, Shelves & Shelves!!

After a trip to Ikea we got inspiration to change up the kitchen a little.  We purchased 4 black shelves & 8 black brackets from Ikea, then a trip to Home Depot for screws....$32 later for this project we headed home.  We had different plans for them, but realized our impulse buy didn't fit where we wanted them. Yay for creativity and we changed our plans. We created an extension of our counter top (we have a teeny, tiny kitchen) and can't wait until the next time we have people over to see how well this helps with the buffet line.  The only thing new besides the shelves is the little silver lantern.

I like that my cookbooks are out, they were taking up good real estate in a cupboard.  The silver basket/bucket holds all our hand towels (in order to save space in one of our only 3 drawers.)
We can also stand in out kitchen without the shelf at the end in the way, the new black one is taller, so more room to stand at the stove.
