What’s Hot!Well if you’re ready for a change then it’s time to take out those upper cabinets and replace them with open shelving in your kitchen. Earlier this year we talked about how a trend in 2019 was going to be full wall backsplash. I am going to go a step further and say a full wall backsplash and then open shelving! Pick a wall in your kitchen, take out the upper cabinets, add a full backsplash then choose some nice wood and stain and brackets. Next layer two or three shelves on each other. What do you put on these shelves? Well I would put my plates, bowls, maybe a plant, a few cookbooks. Open shelving is what’s hot this week.Tip of the Day-If you don’t want to take your cabinet box down how about you take the doors off, paint the inside and use that as open shelving? Or take the doors off and replace them with glass doors? You will be changing the look of the cabinet without the commitment of removing the whole cabinet box.Truth or Fail-Create a hashtag for something I say frequently as a real estate agent.
