Hiding shelf with food??

[brunyan]

In my apartment I don't have enough cabinets for food so I have a lot of my food on a nice black book shelf in my kitchen. I've found that I always want to hide my shelf since it's cluttered and doesn't really fit the kitchen. So I want to find a way to hide the food while people are here. I have thought about homemade curtain with rods, but I wanted to get some advice. Anyone have any ideas that would be creative and effective? The shelf is about 4ft high with 4 tiers and two crossing boards.

A curtain should work ok if it matches the curtains or the general style on the kitchen. Otherwise could you find a small roller blind in a neutral colour, that matches the cupboards so you could just pull it down when needed and it will be out of the way when you don't need it.
