The May 2012 edition of House Beautiful featured the kitchen Mary Jo Bochner designed for her 100-year-old, Savannah, Georgia, home. Bochner explained her choice to use open shelving as follows: "I think they look more old-fashioned, and I like to have all my plates and things accessible quickly. I can't stand a lot of doors. That's why I have all drawers underneath. And frankly, my husband always leaves cabinet doors open. So I just got rid of them!" Here is a look at Bochner's kitchen:
"The scale of the chandelier by Tim Adams, from Savannah's Paris Market, and of the antique etageres, from Charleston's South of the Market, creates drama. Then there's the simplicity of IKEA's Akurum/Rationell system with Adel drawer fronts. Hardware by Classic Brass. Double-drawer dishwasher by Fisher and Paykel."

"The Traulsen refrigerator is 11 years old and still going strong. A 48-inch dual-fuel Wolf range is paired with a Wolf Pro Wall hood, equipped with convenient warming lights. 'I use them all the time,' designer Mary Jo Bochner says. 'I just set the food on that steel shelf until I'm ready to serve.' Kenmore microwave by Sears. Woven basket under table from Pottery Barn. Stool from World Market."

The etageres in Mary Jo Bochner's Savannah, Georgia kitchen reminded me of the etagere in Darryl Carter's Washington, D.C. townhouse kitchen:
"An antique Italian etagere in the kitchen; the wine refrigerator is by Sub-Zero, and the range and hood are by Viking."

Jerusalem stone and marble countertop by Gino Rinaldi. Dessin Fournir stools in slipcovers of Rose Tarlow-Melrose House linen. Waterworks faucets."
"In the kitchen of the 'bunkie house' [a separate guesthouse for the homeowners' grandchildren], a grand French table with lyre bases anchors the room. Custom benches in Rogers and Goffigon fabric. A Verellen chair in linen provides extra sitting room beside a Baker side table. Shelves and pot rack by Bradley Hughes. Best by Broan range hood and Rohl faucetry create clean modern lines."

"Open kitchen shelves hold dishes for everyday use. This style can force you to be organized because everything is in plain view. The shelves and how you store your items not only serve an aesthetic purpose, [they] also let you see inventory at a glance. Arrange dishes by color to create an eye-catching visual display."

"In the kitchen, industrial elements like exposed air ducts, polished concrete floors, and stainless-steel appliances are warmed up with open shelving and vintage accessories and hardware. The wall near the Sub-Zero refrigerator 'needed some life,' so [Amy] Neunsinger hung a photograph of her sons, Jackson, six, and August, three. Island sink by Michael S. Smith for Kallista. Thassos white marble counters and backsplash from Walker Zanger. Viking range; vintage French pendants from Obsolete."

Here is another kitchen with open shelving and exposed ductwork:
"In the kitchen, new stove ducts were left exposed to spare the tin ceiling." The floor was composed of wood salvaged from old barns. " 'I prefer things that naturally look better with age, as opposed to those that feel pristine and perfect,' " says Jenna Lyons.

Peri Wolfman, former vice president of product development for Williams-Sonoma told Elle Decor, " 'I absolutely love tableware, and I want to see it all the time. I love the repetition of things in the same shape.' That means open shelving in the kitchen for 'glasses and more glasses and those ironstone pitchers I schlep everywhere.' " The next two photos provide a peek at the Hamptons kitchen she shares with her husband Charley Gold:

Ruard Veltman designed the kitchen in the next photo. The open shelving makes dishes accessible from both the kitchen, which is pictured below, and from the dining room via paneled doors that open to reveal an old-fashioned pass-through:
"A custom-made table abuts the kitchen island to create more prep space and encourage sit-down meals. Open shelving offers plenty of storage and is also accessible from the dining room's pass-through."

Here is a photo of the pass-through between the kitchen and the dining room:
"In between a pair of upholstered doors in the dining room, there's cabinetry that looks like paneling, and when you open it, it's like magic - you can reach into the kitchen's shelves. It's an old-fashioned pass-through. You can put the dishes away in the kitchen after they're washed and take them out again in the dining room when you need them. It's useful and playful. It makes the house come alive."

Here is a look at a kitchen with open shelving that Bobby McAlpine designed for himself:
Ruard Veltman, who designed the kitchen pictured above, told House Beautiful that "my visual aesthetic was influenced . . . by Bobby McAlpine. He taught me in architecture school, and I worked for his office right after that. Bobby designs houses that define American style. They blend modernism and tradition in this wonderful way. His architecture has a soul."
Here is a look at a kitchen with open shelving that Bobby McAlpine designed for himself:
"Plush upholstered pieces let dinner guests get comfortable during prep time. Bar stools in cowhide and wing chair, McAlpine Home for MacRae. Stove and refrigerator, GE Monogram. Fittings, Dornbracht. Custom cabinets, island, and shelves."

One option for homeowners who do not want to commit to a completely open shelf plan is glass-fronted cabinets. I think a kitchen composed completely of closed cabinets can seem, well - a bit closed. Adding some glass-fronted shelving can open up a space and allow homeowners to reveal a sampling, but not all, of their kitchen collections. For inspiration, take a look at the kitchen of Monelle Totah, vice president of design for Williams-Sonoma:

Monelle Totah updated her kitchen "with [honed] Carrara-marble counters and stainless-steel appliances [Viking range and Bosch dishwasher], but honored the space's 1920s look by keeping some of the original ceiling-high cabinetry - which contains her overflowing silver and glassware collections - and installing a vintage-inspired nickel light fixture and classic drawer pulls."
