Easy & Accessible
Open Shelves
Storage wasn't an issue, so the Thustons opted for open shelves and extended the marble backsplash up to the ceiling.
Budget Play
Open shelves make a kitchen feel more spacious and airy. "They're also cheaper than wall-hung cabinets, especially these white
shelves with metal brackets I got from IKEA," Jessica says. "I like using them for cereal bowls, coffee cups, and anything
else you might use every day."
