Calm, Neutral and De-Cluttered in the China Cabinet
March 30, 2014
Today I finished re-decorating, and de-cluttering my antique china cabinet. I had given you a sneak peek of the top two shelves, that are filled with white ironstone, a typewriter and my camera collection. Now for the rest!
The third shelf has jars with buttons and thread, a cloth sewing tape measure, books, a silver plate tray and vintage white pottery.
Still keeping it neutral with white buttons and thread.
The neutrals work well with the dark wood stain.
The fourth shelf has some silver, vintage foreign currency, and flower frogs.
Foreign coins in a silver plate sugar scoop.
The rest of shelf four has a crock with a faux plant, a vintage toaster, and a crystal knife rest.
On to the bottom shelf and a rusty canning jar wire ring with dried hydrangeas. Also vintage silver plate flatware in jars.
I placed a vintage cake carrier at the bottom far right.
From a cluttered hodgepodge...
To organized and calm.
I started some other living room updates... Not ready for full room shots yet!

I love everything about this re-do, Carlene...you did a beautiful job with it!
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me to tackle my hutch. What did you do with the items you took out of the hutch?
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I like the neutral theme and the clever way you displayed the foreign coins. Coins and stamps are like little works of art. I find them fascinating!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look in your antique china cabinet...everything looks great!!

I like this look. The white is very calm.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot of white to put inside mine -mostly colored items, so I'm thinking if putting some white paper on the back wall of mine to off set and brighten the inside.
Maybe I'll get it done and get back into the swing of blogging :)
I can't wait to see all that you're doing in your room.

ReplyDeleteI love all your white pottery pieces in your dark stained cabinet, Carlene. Nice change for spring!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and enjoyable Carlene ... love how you have restyled it. I need to follow your lead and clean out some of my display cabinets.
ReplyDeleteHappy days ... hope the snow is gone.
