The color of the bottom cabinets and countertops looks just like yours and it had wood shelves about the same color and I could have sworn the brackets look just like the one in this post. I'm not sure if there are any pictures online yet of movie screenshots but if there aren't, you'll have to check out the movie just to see. Plus, it was a pretty good movie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-20752579931855005932015-11-12T22:25:53.594-05:002015-11-12T22:25:53.594-05:00I absolutely love your kitchen and can't wait ...I absolutely love your kitchen and can't wait to see the full reveal soon.

I find it amazing what is to be learned from reading the comments. I have to admit I am so darned envious of your home including kitchen. I'm just not ambitious enuf to attempt any of projects you have and I'd have to fight hubs on every darned one since he is the man in house, what could i possibly know better? Too much energy to be wasted arguing with him and believe me he'd be putting his two cents in every chance he got. <br />Those brackets are awesome and painting them black is perfect to go with other features in your kitchen. I was surprised you didn't put 3 shelves up instead of two but think you just might know what you're doing in your house much better than rest of us, just maybe? Besides you paid for all supplies and did all the work, think that gives you right of decision making. You've known what you were doing all this time so think trust in your judgement is warranted. <br />Have wonderful weekend and love your shelves, so pretty. Thx for tip about pre-conditioning wood before staining. <br />srpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-84802225510737522162015-11-12T16:16:32.193-05:002015-11-12T16:16:32.193-05:00I absolutely love what's happening here in you...I absolutely love what's happening here in your new and improved kitchen - I cannot wait to see the reveal!!!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-26952134470998116142015-11-12T13:19:51.010-05:002015-11-12T13:19:51.010-05:00Oh, I just LOVE those brackets!

Balance is indeed important -- and not everything needs to be large. As I mentioned, I have something in mind for the corner cabinet and if it works I may make the shelves a bit longer, but not much.

Very nice. I agree with a previous comment about the scale of the shelves: far to short and maybe too thin in balance with the heft of the brackets and the scale of the rest of the items in the kitchen, such as the large island, fridge and stove. It's a balance thing, maybe there's a way to rethink that corner cabinet/door clearance issue??? Anyway... Love the hardware on the drawers. I've been thinking of changing mine out. May I ask where you found those?

I will be copying some of your style when I start updating around here next year. We built our house 12 years ago and it is definitely not decorated to suite my current taste. I wish I had the time to start now! Beautiful work you do, Sarah.
