Shorter shelves meant we could fit less stuff on them, and, honestly we just weren’t ready to start storing our everyday items back in a cabinet. I guess we have spoiled ourselves.
The funny thing about this forced upgrade is that three shelves look so. much. better than two. And the shorter shelves make it easier to reach the further dishes. And since we moved them closer together, they don’t look as bare. In summary, if you are considering open shelves, spring for three in the beginning.
Ps. Today is the last day to enter our Boos block cutting board giveaway. You can enter here, if you’d like…so, yeah–you’ll want to enter here.

Awww Happy Birthday Greta the Great, my little one turns 3 in April. Where does the time go?
That paint fiasco was one for the record books. I gasped for you when I saw the photo on facebook.
