Warning: My sister-in-law said open shelving is a mistake and I didn't listen
We were in my new kitchen in Cincinnati last year, right after I put up those trendy open shelves. She looked at them, then at my everyday plates, and said, 'You're going to be dusting those twice a week.' I laughed it off, thinking she was just being fussy. Fast forward six months, and she was completely right. Everything gets a fine layer of grease and dust, and my nice mugs look messy. Has anyone found a good-looking way to cover open shelves, or is the only fix taking them down?
