This is undeniably a beautiful kitchen. But a few things worry me. Shelves in front of windows? Whats going on there? Like -take your dusty shelves and put them in the BRIGHT light. Also, I don't like blocking windows in general like this -you can't enjoy the beautiful view! Also, this is obviously a renovation of an older house -but do you really need to block the windows with the cabinets? You can see that the windows go BELOW counter height - YIKES. Thats just a formula to get dust and crumbs stuck down there - plus looking at the house from the exterior -those windows will look WHACK. What do you think? I love the look of all the white dishes though, those huge windows (A shame they block them with counters, dishes and shelves) and the TALL ceilings!

Good points. I'd add the fact that the sink faces a wall, with the shelf-covered windows on each side of it. It's something that would bother me.
Yes, kathleen!! I see they did it for symmetry -but who wants to wash dishes and stare at a dusty shelf 1 inch from your face? (coming from a self-proclaimed dish-washer addict, it's so relaxing!)
I just don't get any of this open shelving I see so often now. It's a trend that is very dusty!!!!!!!
Yes, Dianne, I think it's something thats pretty but best left to advertisements!
I agree ..bad idea..it just looks a little strange to block two large windows with shelves.. I think it would look much better if they built smaller shelves in between the windows! Beautiful kitchen nonetheless...
I agree with you on this and glad you did not decide to "shelf the issue" but can we talk about that table and those chairs. I love that.
I just cannot imagine blocking the windows and the dust bunnies would drive me insane.
See open shelves over at Isuwannee.
Isuwannee is where I got the inspiration. They're beautiful but not totally a good idea. I love your pun :-)
I like the charming table and chairs, but I would have painted the chairs white. I like wood but not TOO much of it in a room.
I have to agree with your points. I'm sure they can be beautiful in the right situation with the right daily cleaning team, but I really wouldn't want to put them in front of windows to block a beautiful view.
yeah... no... file that under "only suitable for a photo shoot."
Precisely, NF!
They have the capability of looking like a huge old mess!
first symmetry, now crumbs under the counter - you are one anal type of guy, right? You must be such a neat nick. But, alas - you are correct!!! those dishes have to be washed before anyone can use them - the dust!!!!
did you realize that with your black background and white lettering - you see reverse images of your blog? yep!!! I swear!!!
haha, not anal, CDT! More laid back than you'd think, but I like to be practical -and I do like things to be kept neat!
