As part of a recent kitchen and laundry room renovation in a historic Albert Kahn home,
Kathleen McGovern of Kathleen McGovern Studio of Interior Designincorporated open shelves to modernize the
otherwise traditional space. Part utilitarian and part decorative, these floating shelves replace cabinets
on a kitchen wall that was better left without them. The walnut shelves were secured into the studs
when the kitchen was rebuilt, and each is designed to hold 50 pounds.
