Magazine Monday: Fruit wall hangings

This week's project was inspired by THIS blogger.

I have been working on sprucing up the kitchen. I bought a 3-pack of flat canvases, painted two of them gray, and used Mod Podge for the first time ever.

They were really fun to make, super fast, and I think they turned out great. My only dilemma is whether they look a little too 'country' for the space. I'm not really going for that look. I'll let them stay until I get some other decorations up and see what I think. I may use the same technique, but with different subject matter. Who knows.

I have another project waiting in the wings for that light fixture :)

In other kitchen sprucing, I have been making a trip to the container store each month to pick up some organizers a little at a time. I could spend WAY too much money in that store!
We don't have an abundance of cupboard space, and we're trying to work on food storage, so we added 4 GORM shelving units from IKEA, figuring they'll be useful in a garage or basement someday. The only problem is that it is all open shelving, so I want it to look as neat as possible.
It is still a work in progress, but here are 6 finished shelves:

Recipes on top, pasta, rice and oats all on display (love that those containers are only $2 or less!), and the breakfast shelf.

I was hoping for some rotating can shelves, but the price was right on these and we can store so many more cans now. Yippee! Up top are dish towels and snacks.

We can finally hang our brooms and the plastic bag holder to make room for our recycling basket below (couldn't get it in the picture).
