Inspiration Workshop {Week #2}: KITCHENS!

This week's Inspiration Workshop prompt was kitchens. I've recently become addicted to Pinterest and had already been looking at kitchen ideas since ours is pretty small and we don't have a lot of storage. Thankfully, we have more than we did at our last place, but still don't have much.

When I found this picture I got really excited:

Now I'm trying to track down some sort of storage containers to put on top of the cabinets. I need to take into mind the fact that we live in Florida in a house that is 104 years old. I'm thinking that something sealed or mostly sealed would be good. As much as I hate to admit it (and we still can't figure out where they're coming from), we have bugs that like to visit us. Any suggestions on pretty containers for the tops of cabinets? My cabinets are white and the accents in our kitchen are red and black. I'd love to have your input!
