TABLESCAPE STORAGE

Welcome to the New year, I guess it always has to start with a little storing of all the decorations put back in their containers and put in the attic of the garage...(I did want to say to all of my friends in the colder states, I left the snow on the blog to make you feel at home...however here in sunny southern Ca. today is was warm and almost in the eighties)....sorry for that....

This is part of my side of the garage, except for the tools and the tv, those however are religated to Mr. S.

This is more of my side, I designed the cupboard doors to be sliders so no matter if the car is in the garage I will never have a problem opening and closing the doors ....brilliant huh..

This is the rest of my side of the garage, but as we discussed not the tv or cabinet below. I will show you his side, just so you won't think I have to much....would I do that, never...not to Mr. S.








As you can see the car goes in the garage, his Suv is in the driveway, too tall for garage anyway.

He has a couple of chairs and watches some tv when he is working outside and likes to smoke an occasional cigar.....

This is the rest of Mr. S's side of the garage with the work bench and large drawers with cupboards below......Now back to my dish storage..... The carpet is a kind of indoor outdoor and is glued to the concrete floor....Nothing seems to bother the carpet, not even the car.....









I am sure I need more shelves and a whole redo of the inside, wow maybe one of the grandkids will take pity and come and help me soon.....








There is a nice sangria jar in the back, I think a great Mexican feast with fresh sangria, MMMmm, I love the summer time, it is the perfect for celebration outside...

The dishes on the left are Jungle dishes with monkeys all over them, love them and will do a tablescape soon with monkeys everywhere.......your gonna love it.....next to those dishes are some Easter dishes I found on sale a couple of months ago.

You can get a better look at the Easter dishes, they are so darned cute....

Place mats and chargers, I use these alot in the summer outside....

oh my it is starting to look a little disarranged maybe just messy, ya thats what it is ...








I think the plates are stacked to high, must have another shelf to relieve the pressure on those poor plates......







Many of these items are gifts from friends who know I love dishes, they sure are in need of an organizer....that will be another post...

Remember those little red egg cups and the cow cups, cute cute they sure made the breakfast table sing...

You may be wondering where all the Christmas stuff goes, it goes in the attic in the garage, Mr. S. had a door put in that pulls down the steps and he puts all the decorations up there....he has a small little tiny workshop outside the garage for smelly oily greasy things....

I don't have a large home with alot of space for hutches and credenzas to house alot of extra dishes, so these cabinets in the garage are just ideal for me....Of course my dishes I use every day are in the kitchen along with some more valuable pieces...anyway this works for us.....I would love to know what works for you, where do you put your fun pieces when not in use, I know Susan had a wonderful friend show us her dish room wowowowow, she had the most beautiful things and the ideal place to store all of them... but I do know lots of you have unique places and tips for storing your tablescaping fun pieces, I would sure love to see them..... I'll be back soon with an organized storage cabinet, maybe a new shelf....
