Inspire: Kitchen Shiplap and Floating Shelving, Client Project

When I met with a client this past week, our discussion over a tile backsplash morphed into kitchen shiplap walls and floating shelving! She mentioned that painting her existing cabinets, which are currently white, is a possibility in the future as well as updating the kitchen door hardware and ultimately island and countertop. Her long-term goal is a slow kitchen transformation, strategically planned and budgeted, but starting with the backsplash. She is speaking my language......planning and budgeting!

Leaving the project, I was tasked with researching kitchen shiplap and shelving options.

Here Are My Ten Favorite Kitchen Shiplap and Floating Shelving Inspiration Pictures:

1. I really like to see how designs work the corners, to carry over or stick with one wall!
