Shelving for the Kitchen

Shelves are awesome. Some time ago, Doug took down the upper cupboard in our kitchen.

And there it stayed, for many a month.

I could get all bugged with myself for not taking the opportunity to paint while there wasn't a cupboard, but really, what fun would that be?

Anyway, I finally decided on brackets and shelving, and got myself over to IKEA to get them. The shelves were deemed to be okay, but the brackets needed some serious help - in the form of drywall anchors. It took a bit of time to order and receive screws with the same finish as the brackets. But, as soon as they came, Doug installed 'dem shelves.

It didn't take too long for me to fill them.

I know, I should really get going on the paint. Having a half-painted wall ruins the effect. And the molding really needs to be reattached to the existing cupboard. But my dishes have somewhere that is accessible. Progress, though slow, is still happening. Celebrate the small stuff, yes?
