Some elements I love -- an outlet on the main shelf for tea-maker and phone, and a powerstrip in the top drawer for charging electronic devices. The cabinet is entirely full already, and if you're wondering where all these things lived before, they were (often precariously) jammed into drawers and shelves here and there. I feared for my glassware. Now they're all happy and organized, and I am going to try very hard to rein in my weakness for pretty china / glassware -- if something new comes in, something else has to go out!
I like to think this old house is happy to finally have a built-in china cabinet; it seems like the sort of thing it would have wanted, back when it was built, a hundred and thirty years ago. :-)
Oh that’s wonderful!
The china cabinet is great, but what I really want to say is how much I love your wall colors!
Thanks, guys. Lisa, they’re a little brighter in the photo than in real life — it’s Farrow & Ball’s Brinjal and Down Pipe.
