kitchen Archives - Grateful Prayer

Keeping up with family gatherings and general summer yard work and responsibilities has kept me from working on many projects but we did manage a small shelf at the end of the cabinets in the kitchen.

And as you know…

If you give a shelf a coat of paint

you begin touching-up those little nicks on the doors

which makes you notice the tiny chips on the trim work

that in turn, highlights the dings in the surbases

that brings attention to the scratches in the foyer

that magnifies the grime around the handle on the front door

then reminds you the shelf needs a second coat of paint…

An Easy Kitchen Shelf

So here is the little shelf that stared it all.

An easy DIY kitchen shelf adds a decorative and functional element to cabinets and counter top giving extra space for serving.

My project was twofold. I wanted to add a little interest to the end of the cabinet and, since I often serve from this counter top, I knew a little shelf would give added space for glasses or utensils. We had the wood scraps and brackets in the garage and came up with a simple design.
