Decorate Above Your Kitchen Cabinets
Many homes have unused space above the kitchen cabinets, and it’s about time we figure out what to actually put there.

Maybe your collection could be kitchen items that actually get used in the kitchen, like mixers, bowls, colanders, appliances, etc. Below are a few ideas for other collections that might look great in that empty space:
