Got cats? I have open shelves above my sink now and some of my cats will climb in the sides and sashay along them. Aside from the eeew factor -where were those cute little fur-paws five minutes ago? - it also is hair-raising as they wend their way through my crockery until I can get a clean snatch on them and yank them off without pulling down a whole stack of plates! I finally got fed up and taped cardboard over the ends to see if that kept them out. It did! So my new open shelves will be closed-ended. I think the thing that makes closed-end shelves look different from cabs with doors yanked off is the absence of any of the residual face frame on intentional closed shelving.

At some point she did not sure when they were changed or which came first, but it may have been for plot reasons. I remembered the cabs from the episode where Ricky hires a business manager and she had to hide all the groceries she's was buying for neighbors in the closed cabs. In fact most of the pics I found on line show her kitchen with upper cabs. However I remember making a mental note during one show that it was all upper shelving, but it's been a while... which episode did you see? Here is a link that might be useful: Lucy's Kitchen with cabs

Anyone? Here are some more pics. My rug and the fireplace wall. We have a new coffee table now.

Celery, how do you mean? Sarah, here's a pic of the rug. I would repaint the boxes to tone down the colors a bit so they coordinate better with the rug. I was thinking of using just 4 or 5 of the boxes so there'd be more negative space on the wall. And then use the shelves to display miscellaneous stuff like kids' trophies and decorative items.
