This is the kitchenette wall before. It is not a very big area. We contemplated hanging a wall cabinet there but I didn't want to block any of the light that was coming out of the small window to the right.
Instead we decided to put up open shelving. I really enjoy being able to see everything. We bought corbels and painted them black and distressed them. The shelves were stained cherry to match our table.
To keep life simple, I made one rule for myself about things I brought to the cabin- they have to be functional and decorative. I think these shelves are the perfect example of that.
We still need to put in lower cabinets but I am trying to persuade Mr. Cabin they need to be RED! Wish me luck!

Love the shelves and love that red basket on the top shelf. We have been busy painting all weekend and today I finished up.
