I love open shelving but it's hard to create a display of items that don't look yet too organized. When I made my kitchen design, before the renovations, I was determined to have open shelving everywhere. I now have but I've been struggling with it for the past year. I didn't have the right china, I needed pots to store things in, I needed ... just things to make it right.



So I started my hunt on eBay for pastel blue china and I found Greydawn by Johnson Brothers. I mixed it with some old and new Laura Ashley stuff, some Cath Kidston stuff (OF COURSE it's getting pathetic) and the odd Ikea items.



I'm pretty pleased with the result and I promised myself not to change it. The best thing is that we use all this stuff daily so it's not just a display of pretty things it's actually useful too!

After all the shelving in the kitchen is done I'm going to start on the pantry. I want to make it pink or green, I don't know!!
