Kitchen Industrial Shelving

A couple months ago I showed you this awkward space in our kitchen where the cabinets just seem to stop, leaving us with a 4ft wide bare gap. I tried filling it with artwork but it still seemed pretty empty and bland.

So instead I gave it the old “nest for less” treatment and purchased some kitchen industrial metal shelves. And here’s what the space looks like now…

Yep, only $67 from Amazon (not an affiliate link). Before the purchase I figured if I hated how the metal shelves looked in the kitchen, I could always use them in the garage or basement instead. Win-win bargain shopping.

A couple weeks ago I showed some options on my Instagram and I think I decided on white subway tiles with darker grout. This project is tentatively on the schedule for the weekend after Labor Day (yeah, fingers crossed).

So I’m making baby steps towards getting this kitchen completed.
Still on my kitchen to-do list:

•  Backsplash
•  Trim out kitchen island
•  Build out on top of cabinets
•  Built in platter rack near fridge
•  Kitchen command center

    I have that same awkward space in my kitchen. I’ve put art in that space for now, but I’ve tried to think what I could do there. I’ve thought about a desk area, but I think it would just be messy. But I like this! And it can’t be beat for the price!

    I am in LOVE with these shelves! I put two of them together (I=I=I) for storage in my craftroom. I have also used them at a craft fair to hang up the copper wind chimes I made. Fabulous look in your kitchen!

      Thanks so much CeCe! We absolutely LOVE these. Thinking about adding some to our garage (even though they seem too pretty for that space!)
