Thanks, everyone! These are all great ideas. Keep them coming! I love the plant idea because I love plants. The hard part is finding things just the right size because they are small shelves (9" high x 6" deep).

My style is more transitional. Thank you.

Vases?
I collect bowls, so I have stacks of them in my open cabinets.
My friend has all their glasses for alcohol there.
My sister keeps all her cookbooks there.

- Antique cup
- Recipe box

I try to keep practical things for decor. Something nice, but not tchochkes (sp?)

You're not country, but can describe a little bit of what you are style-wise?

What is your style?

Maybe a terrarium - http://www.westelm.com/products/faceted-terrariums-d2032/?pkey=cplanters&cm_src=planters||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_--_-

I have four shelves on the end corner of my kitchen cabinets (upper cabinets, above counter). They are only 9 inches in height. What can I put on them that is decorative? Everything I come across has a very "country" look to it, and I am so not "country". Any creative ideas?
