Kitchen Update: New Shelves

I have slowly been making changes to the kitchen {see herehere, and here}. For the longest time, I was working with what I had: tans and browns. Here is what my wall looked like before:




I painted the wall {Pebble Cinder Gray by Valspar}, and added two Ikea Lack floating shelves, and displayed some of my milk glass and white dishware {which I seem to have endless supplies of but cannot stop buying}

Here is the wall after:









I recently started an Ironstone collection...I picked up these pitchers {and the pot to the far right} at an estate auction. I got about 7 pieces of Ironstone for $20!

So what do you think? Do you like the before or after better?

I love your comments like I love a glass of red wine, a slow Van Morrison song, and freshly swiffered floors...which is, like, a lot.
