![]() The good news is that over kitchen sink lighting ideas are rather diverse. ![]() However, over the sink lighting is equally as important, as it provides task lighting, illuminates dark corners, and gives you the opportunity to inject some extra style and personality into your kitchen. See the rest of my farmhouse kitchen (before these shelves were added) HERE.Plenty of thought often goes to central lighting when it comes to the kitchen-leaving over kitchen sink lighting in the dark. The brackets are just triangle shapes cut from the same wood. The shelves were made of very inexpensive pine boards, mitered where the two shelves meet in the corner, although that isn’t necessary. That’s about as close to a minimalist as I’ll ever get! □ They aren’t just decorative – they are very functional, so they’ve earned their spot there.Ībove the smaller window are just a few pitchers, a Poultry Feed Sign, and one of the milk bottles my son makes and sells. In the corner between the two windows, I reattached the 2 wire fryer baskets that had been there before. I don’t have any more of this “buggy” wood, so at this time I don’t plan to make more, BUT this one is available in my shop HERE! Really, really hoping, that I get more faithful about cleaning the shelves.Ī few of you asked whether I plan to sell any “antique” cutting boards, like the one I shared yesterday. The jars look so pretty as the sun streams through the windows in the morning, and they are illuminated in the evening by the recessed lights above the sink.īUT, they won’t look pretty if they get covered in dust and grime, which would be pretty obvious in the light, so I’m hoping… What the heck – I threw in the towel on the minimalist idea! ![]() I hated to leave them out, so I added them to the shelf also.īut what about the lightning jars that I love so much?Īll that was left was my cute jar lifter with wooden handles and a meat grinder. How simple, how neat, how minimalist they looked!īut I also had several old jars with a “quilt” pattern on them. This time, I wanted something very simple, in keeping with the farmhouse style of the trim around the windows and the new shelves, so I pulled out 3 old canning jars that have a “grid” pattern on them, and I put them on the shelf. Previously, I had a kind of potting bench theme on the shelf over the largest window (there are two windows that form the corner of my kitchen wall). I tried to think like a minimalist would, but I think minimalist’s brains function in a completely different way than mine does.īut I really wanted to be selective, so I thought about all the things I love,Īnd I looked at everything that had formerly been on the shelf,Īnd I pondered which things should make the cut.Īnd I ended up deciding not to put any of the things that had formerly been on my kitchen window shelf back again (except 1 thing). When my mother-in-law is coming to visit.īut that’s only once a year, so I had to squelch the urge to stick every single little thing I love on the shelf, unless I wanted a bunch of dust and grime to accumulate there again. My knees aren’t what they used to be, and getting up and down on a chair to clean the shelves above the windows is only something I will do… I chanted that to myself, as I decorated my new kitchen window shelves.
