Monday Musings; Above the Cabinet Decor Inspiration!

I have never really known what to do with that space between the tops of my kitchen cabinets and the ceiling. I still don’t really know what I am going to do, but here are some things I came across today…

It all started when I came across this post, over at Thrifty Decor Chick. It is really about lighting, which she details step by step, and you can see her take on decorating this space;

She used a framed picture, some black vinyl lettering, some vases, and other items I bet I either have around the house, or could pick up for a great price at a thrift store. I also really like the lighting.
Here are some more pics I encountered. I like the plate idea, I just don’t know for sure where I am going to go with it.
This is a great kitchen from Country Living. These colors do it for me! I wish my cabinets were white, but that is a project I am not committed enough to this house to tackle.
Found the above cool array of trays over at Our Suburban Cottage.
What have you put in that space begging to be utilized and made beautiful? I need your help. I am floundering here. Teach me, teach me please!

I love the lighting idea too. I think baskets above the cupboard look nice, along with maybe an Americana horse or something. I also love the look of white cabinets, but I figure if I procrastinate long enough, my light oak ones will be back in vogue yet in my lifetime. LOL

Thanks for following Cranberry Morning! Nice to have you along. 🙂 I'm following back.

I have always wanted to have that dilemma – none of my kitchens have ever had that above cabinet ledge. The lighting looks really great. Thanks for coming by 504 Main…new follower here!
