Lighted Shelves

I think it was on the television program called Neat that the host suggested adding pretty lights as a way to keep shelves in order. She said that when shelves are prettily lit, we are less likely to allow clutter to gather. I added some Christmas lights to my shelves. The picture doesn't begin to capture it, but they really do look festive in person, and I really have kept my shelves more orderly since putting the strings of lights up. (It also makes the pantry a kind of beautiful wonderland for little children.)
