The kitchen cabinets in our new apartment seem to want me to do some decorating. There’s a big, empty space above them. And it just looks so … empty. I’m not so inclined toward interior decorating, so I’m not sure what to do with the space. Ivy and baskets seem to be popular options for cabinet-tops. I don’t know that I’m an ivy person, though. The baskets are a possibility. Then it would be storage, but in a lovely and decorative way.

I sought advice from Martha Stewart, but she didn’t have anything helpful to say. So I searched Flickr for “top of the kitchen cabinets.” Those results suggest that Marsha T. Cat would be the perfect accoutrement for the kitchen cabinets. As Marsha isn’t living with us now, though, I may just have to go with pottery and baskets.
