Do you ever put stuff on top of your cupboards
like greenery, plates, n' sh*t?
God, I have no idea what I'm doing, it looks like Antiques Roadshow/Dollar General up there.
Re: Do you ever put stuff on top of your cupboards
My neighbor has this elaborate figurine situation up there, like a little city.
I feel competitive.
We have a sign on top of our kitchen cabinets that says 'will eat for food.' I love it, but nobody else appreciates it. Also, we keep dust up there.
Edited to make sense.
Today Instead of Working
i have my willow tree collection.
now i feel the need to deny that i have a willow tree collection
My cupboards go all the way to the ceiling, ew. I can't wait to renovate. German engineering.
I collect antique hammered copper pieces, like urns and pots etc. In our old house I used to have them up there but when I redesign this kitchen, I'm going to keep it clean.
I think stpete has illuminated top cupboards that are lovely and not cluttered.
I use those decorative storage boxes and hide a bunch of random crap that I have no place for.
Like these...
I love Willow Tree figurines.
And, I love hammered copper pieces. I do.
I just put some antique plates up there on stands and I think that I might put silk greenery up there. Yes.
No.
No, no.
One of my cats lives up there. She only comes down when necessary.
Okay, BAB made me laugh.
'No. No, no.'
And lol @ the devil-eyed cat. Sh*t!
We have soffits, so no stuff. If we did have an up there, it would probably have teapots, coffee pots and hot beverage accoutrements. I have no idea why I have a collection of those things, but I do.
I'd love a cat who lived up there, though!
I need this in my kitchen.
My cabinets go all the way to the ceiling so no tchotchkes for me.
I just want to clarify that I have nothing against cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling, just mine. The crazy German who built this house had no concept of scale.
Scotty, back away from the silk plants.
Our cabinets go to the ceiling. Boo.
Before I moved in with H, I had my M&M dispenser collection on the tops of my cabinets. And now I want to deny having an M&M dispenser collection.
Why would you deny this???? M&Ms, at your fingertips, all the time! Heaven!
Sadly, they're empty. It's such a tease. They're now in our basement family room, which is painted to look like a s'more (marshmallow colored walls, dark chocolate trim and a one wall that has graham cracker colored wood paneling) and has pictures of chocolate desserts on the walls and the M&M dispenser collection on the ledge that runs along one wall.
That is genius inspiration.
We have stuff on ours....Our cat also likes to make this his personal playground. This is an old picture when we first moved in (3 years ago)...and I have changed it up a bite since then but you get the picture. (I now have a wine rack up there and a few other odds and ends...the ugly bird has been removed much to my husbands' dismay)
I agreed with you until you mentioned the boxes.
