Hi,
I have two shelves in my kitchen that are in pretty direct sunlight, what to store there?? I had some dry goods like bulgar lentils etc. but I'm worried they might go bad faster, any ideas? I have a tiny kitchen and hate the idea of wasted space.

Would you be interested in growing plants there?

could you put little curtains or build some sort of door to make it into a cupboard(even if its from a material other than wood)?

Oh, that could be REALLY beautiful!! I WISH I'd have sunlight streaming in to a kitchen window.

One shelf is not such a deep shelf, the kind that is flush against a wall, the other is the end of my cabinet, two round edged corner shelves. Plants are cute but I have a huge space in the front yard with dirt, I'll work on that first. Dishes are a possibility but I'm afraid of anything really breakable falling off cause its narrow.

Do you need the space for storage? Why don't you use it to display something nice? (I always have pretty things I don't know where to put, like small decorations, a thin vase, a sculpture, etc) Otherwise, maybe it's a good place to display your kids art projects? or maybe you can put a cork board and tack on shopping lists, pictures, etc?

Cookbooks. Baskets. Trays. The latter two on end and leaving against the wall. Or put your barley, pasta and so on into opaque canisters.

But why must you look for things with which to clutter the shelves? Is your eye offended by the sight of open space? Why not leave the shelves empty and then not have to worry about anything falling down and breaking or being damaged by sunlight? Trust me, eventually you will acquire something that will scream to be housed on those shelves. Probably a picture frame or serving dish that some sweet Shabbos guest will bring you as a hostess gift.
