[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I just do not see the appeal of open kitchen shelves, yet they seem to be a new hot thing in kitchen design.  Why?[/b]  Does everyone else just keep their shit a lot more orderly than I do or have nicer dishes?  I expect to see this in tiny apartment kitchens, but it's now all over the design blogs with precisely stacked, white dishes, which seems quite unrealistic to me unless your kitchen is only for show.  I don't even much care for glass doors, TBH.

(Also, none of these people have cats who would see open shelving as a great place to lounge?  Ours have no interest in our kitchen currently and we've never had to deal with cats trying to get on counters/tables... but I can totally see them considering open shelving to be installed purely for their enjoyment.)

So, does anyone really have this and how do you keep it looking decent?  Does it get super dusty around stuff you don't use every day?[/quote]

Because that design is the cheapest for builders  --- which is how we got this farmhouse debacle.  The more actual doors or cabinetry or wainscoting you want, the more the builder has to spend.[/quote]
