This one is kind of interesting, and below budget: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Tier-Display-Cabinet-Bookcase/4568710/product.html

i'd plan on pulling the sofa away from the wall a couple inches, blocks behind to keep it from scooching back. otherwise those shelves will loom over your head when you sit there. secondly, will you enjoy looking at those photos from in front of the couch? small photos are best viewed close up... like in a hall. larger art would look better. is there another place for your small photos?

I had open shelving on the sink side of a galley kitchen for 11 years: loved it! Unloaded dishes from dishwasher straight on to the shelf —- so convenient! The only things I noticed needing dusting were the things not used regularly up on the highest shelves. (I had three tiers on each side of the sink.) Everything in regular rotation stays clean. Wipe shelves down every so often. I hate having to open doors to put things away constantly in my current unrenovated kitchen: hence doors left ajar all day. I didn’t have anything on those shelves that I didn’t want to look at —- so no plastic containers, etc. Just fruit, veggies, and all my everyday dishes and some attractive serving and mixing bowls. That being said, I also love putting things in drawers, and if you have enough room for that (I didn’t in my small kitchen) or you have a nice pantry, I could see just omitting all upper cabinets! Makes your kitchen feel less stuffy, more open.
