Kitchen Idea - Open Shelving

I have a habit of getting a design idea in my head and poor hubby can't get out of it. I really really love the look of open shelving in the kitchen. I have been asking (ok nagging) him if we could do this to our kitchen over the summer. Yeah, he is not thrilled with the thought of adding another project to his "to do" list. Since that has never stopped me before, I am on the hunt for a design idea that goes with my style kitchen. I just love this look and think that it would just open up my kitchen. I have dishes that I just love and since they are all white (and my kitchen is mostly antique white), I think show casing them would look fabulous! Sortof like the 1st 2 pics below. Don't you just love this look??
