new ledge shelves & spring decor...

For my birthday (back in February), the only thing I asked for was some ledge shelves to hang in my dining area.  I don't have a mantle or anything like that, so I needed a place to do my seasonal decorating.  We finally go them up on the wall, so I decked them out for spring using little knick-knacks and photos and things I had on hand.

I wanted them to look full without looking too cluttery...


It was trickier than I thought, but after some fiddling and a trip to Ikea for some inexpensive frames, I figured out an arrangement I liked.


Since my little do-dads now have a home on the wall, I took all the decor off of the top of my kitchen cabinets.  Can I just say how much I hate that space on top of the cabinets?!  Why don't they just make all cabinets go to the ceiling?  Such a waste of space...  

Anyway, now it's all empty up there.  I need to figure out how I can decorate up there without it looking like a bunch of junk.  I have a few ideas (that do not involve plastic ivy--no offense to those of you who have gone that route.  Did I mention I hate that space up there?).  We'll have to see how they pan out...
