We just put up rope lights also. Easy peasy if you have an outlet up there.

Default Kitchen Cabinet Decoration

Jane's birdhouse collection. LED light-strips illuminate the houses at night. Artificial greenery adds to attractiveness.

Anyone want to share their kitchen soffit scene?
Gracie We filled in all the soffit gaps to create a cohesive soffit when we stretched our kitchen 4ft. We installed Crown Molding on the bottom of the soffit. We installed up lighting in the Crown, under the cabinet lighting, LED mini spots and lighting in the fan. We filled the room with light which doesn't need to be dusted. We use a pole Swiffer to dust the top. Len & Mary

I do love the less is more idea, and when I come to my house in TV it is such a good feeling . BUT..... My home in NY I have so many collectables that I know I don't want to display when I make the permanent move. It's so much easier keeping the house clean. As far as over the cabinets, I do plan to bring all my over the cabinet displays and greenery. I do love the look, for I do love that tuscan decor. What ever makes you happy , thats what you should do.

I love that. My countertops only have the essentials: Toaster, coffee pot and box of kleenex. My mom & grandma had stuff all over, not my thing. However, I do like well planned and neat countertop displays.

Thank you for sharing the pictures of your beautiful decor. I am amazed and delighted but not at all surprised by your good taste and welcoming choices.

I love each and every one of them.

Nice post and I completely agree with you. I have too much stuff and I really do not mind what anyone else thinks. Everything I have means something to me, reminds me of somewhere we lived or traveled.

Of course less is more and when my house goes up for sale it will have less, a whole lot less, but for now I am living with my stuff and enjoying it.

GG .... do what makes you happy, live for yourself not others.
