Functional Display with Timeless Character
✍️ Description:
Cori wanted substantial farmhouse-style shelves to display both everyday dishes and antique pieces. Inspired by classic designs, we created sturdy, built-in shelving with a strong visual presence, ensuring they would complement the kitchen’s overall aesthetic.
To achieve the desired mass and durability on a budget, we sandwiched two layers of MDF shelving together, adding a trim edge for a clean, finished look. The beadboard backing ties these shelves seamlessly into the islands and pantry, making them feel like a natural extension of the space.
The result? A bold yet elegant display area that blends function with farmhouse charm.
🔹 Project Highlights:
- Thick, layered MDF construction for visual weight and durability
- Custom farmhouse-style brackets for a handcrafted, structural look
- Beadboard backing to unify the design with the rest of the kitchen
- Budget-conscious materials that deliver high-end aesthetics
- Strong enough to display both everyday and antique dishware
