I have been trying to figure out what to add to my kitchen to make it have more character and a more modern touch. I was not sure how floating shelves would look or if they would even look ok in the kitchen. Now that they are up, I realized that this was the exact way to go. They were very easy to install and they look amazing. They have a white rustic look and are very high quality. It definitely added that modern feel I was looking for. I am super happy with this addition and love how many pieces this can actually hold. I highly recommend these shelves.
