I am sharing on Seasonal Sundays..
and I have really deliberated on why... because I am opening my blog followers up to the truth and reality of my storage problems...
Beautiful china has always been my weakness, but I am terribly limited in the storage issue!
Even as I type I have some wonderful china at my mom's home that I want to bring here but I have nowhere to store it....
Believe me, some ideas are brewing about the resolution of this dilemma, but meanwhile I will go ahead and share a bit of the mixed up places I have stored some items. Now you must know that I live in a 1930's house... and storage of china wasnt exactly on the radar ... I have very limited kitchen storage...
Of course. I have my one kitchen cabinet designated for everyday dishes and I do have 4 sets stored there, but I also have a kitchen hutch..
the bottom of this hutch is filled with seasonal decorations and Christmaswear..
The built-ins in the sunroom beside the sofa offer a bit of space..
Here I keep my wedding china that I seldom use, and my porcelain from Germany, also with a few odd pieces of Emerson Creek Pottery...
The corner cupboard is pretty much loaded..
My best china is kept at the ready here..
The bottom houses more Christmas china, platters, entertainment pieces, etc... I realize my photos didnt come out very clear... poor lighting!
Also, I am realizing that there are a few other places that I am unwilling to reveal .... perhaps this will really inspire me to get on the ball do a major reorganization project....! HA!

This is where I house my red transferwear and some of my South Hampton Whites ...

You are braver than I, "I did NOT share a post THIS TIME"!!! As I type I have a box SITTING next to me FILLED with teacups. AND I'm going to CONFESS that I don't have a CLUE where the saucers are, UGH!!! They are in a SAFE PLACE!!! Hmmm. I think your china closets are wonderful, and thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,

You have some marvelous furniture pieces for storing your lovely china. Places you're unwilling to share...LOL..I have to admit, it takes a good portion of trust to share the hidey holes that I use to store my dishes. I always feel very vulnerable right before I click the 'publish' button. I do appreciate that I've picked up some neat storage ideas from other bloggers. Maybe they'll help me figure out where I'm going to store the 47 plates that I bought at an estate sale this weekend. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteI hope it inspires and helps you. I borrowed some great ideas from everyone ever since this party started. Visiting from Seasonal Sundays.
