Comments (5)You can decorate using any of your favorite things. Antiques, wine bottles, silk vines & flowers or pottery. It does get very dusty though. I always line the tops of the shelves with newspaper and then replace it once a year. That just eliminates cleaning the tops of the cabinets of dust and grease. I have a few photos of things above kitchen cabinets in the November blog archive labeled decorating above kitchen cabinets.

Comments (21)IdaClaire - I also worried about the weight of a down comforter until I finally bought one - well due to DH's allergies I bought an alternative down, but it is basically the same weight. The comforter itself is very lightweight and I was amazed at how cozy and warm my little nest became. It is significantly lighter than the matelasse coverlet that I use in the summer.

I'm sure some of you think it looks "cluttered", but I like it and I'm not changing my cabinets. The picture was actually taken to illustrate the ceiling fan, but you get the idea on top of the cabinets. As you can see, I am not a minimalist!...See MoreT eresa
