Rosemary for Remembrance

Glass/dish chipping is theoretically prevented. Also, it's nonskiddy, so theoretically, some slight traction in a quake.

I even have (as you know) open shelves, so I should have shelf edging, obviously. It seems very much a More Work For Mother kind of item though.

Con-Tact paper is the work of the devil. My mother used it to line some cabinets and it took acetone and a scraper to get that crap out in the end.

In drawers, a liner keeps utensils and pans from being quite so crash-and-bang.
