I have a lot of color in mine too. I have a long wall and a partial one in bright yellow and then I have lots of accents in red and turquoise. I have all open shelving in the kitchen too. Lately I'm wanting to have a more peaceful and simple space. I think we all enjoy a little change sometimes. I've had the kitchen like this for 10 years and now I'm leaning towards some soft sage mint colors. And less stuff on the shelves!
