Instructions

- 1
  Drape a decorative doily over the surface of the shelf at eye level.

  Place two teacups and saucer pairs on top of the doily. This display of teacups serves as a convenient place to grab teacups for a guest and also adds a touch of classic beauty to the shelving unit. The natural light from the kitchen window accents the look when the light shines on whatever teacup design you choose. Choose colors that match the doily for a blended look.

  Place a bud vase in the center of the top shelf of the unit. A single flower is all that is needed on this shelf, since the middle contains the cups and doily. Any type of flower that matches your kitchen color scheme is ideal.

  Add optional embellishments. A couple jars of herbs on the bottom shelf adds a country-inspired tone. Use your imagination when choosing decorative items and be sure your choices match the rest of your scenery.
