Have you considered some shelf paper (or wrapping paper, on the cheap)? That could be fun and unexpected. Even storing flat platters (that wouldn't necessarily be visible from below) could be a nice way to show those off from a different angle (I'm always bummed that the only place I have for my cool serving ware is inside of cabinets).

I want something that covers the whole area so that the bare tops of cabinets are not showing.

I had my crystal cups & bowls (that I never intend on using but feel guilty about getting rid of) up there for a while, but it was much too formal for me. Right now, my cabinet tops are bare. I will figure something out one of these days. My mother has a solution for me. "Why don't you just get a bunch of ivy to put up there?" *shudder* I am currently in the dilemna of what to do with my cabinets.

At one point (hanging my head) I did succumb to some of the fake greenery. I did dump it, then tried baskets, wooden letters that said Cucina, tried some ceramics-NOTHING but nothing looked right. The scale is just off. Bare is best. We have crown molding and then blank space. At one point (hanging my head) I did succumb to some of the fake greenery.

I just discovered your website a few days ago.. love it, by the way. I have the ugly ivy above my cabinets. I never really saw it as ugly but I did question why it made sense for ivy to grow out the top of cabinets. Now after reading all these posts, I most definitely want to change it! I did see in a friends home that she had one of those wooden signs with her last name and Established in.. above her cabinets. It looked really classy. I am not sure what else you would put up there in addition to that. That is so funny! I just discovered your website a few days ago.. love it, by the way. I have the ugly ivy above my cabinets.
