I'm so glad you are talking about this. I am searching high and low for perfect open shelves for my kitchen. I hope you talk about where you are getting yours (of course you will!!). IKEA is always the option I come back to, but I did find some cool worn wood ones at west elm. The brackets weren't the best though. I'll keep an eye out for your follow up post :)

Absolutely crazy about shelving and the dishes-as-decor idea. I could live with and love any one of the examples you showed…but know that we will all love yours best of all.

I really like most of those choices, especially the floating ones. The lucite and concrete ones look fab as well…perhaps you can use the new concrete overlay to achieve that effect. I guess it depends what color, finish you're going with on the cabinets.
P.s. glad to hear you're chunking up the wood door surround. However, please try to avoid that picture frame look. I don't know when that became the norm, but it drives me crazy! Btw, love your doors. they remind me of Dutch doors.

if you put up shelves to the right of the window, won't they be kind of hard to get to?

(since the "L" shaped counter is in fron instead of one that continues parallel to the window wall)
