You can see the dish storage is kind of an L shape, and the short end of the L ends at the back door..The doors are sliding which lends it's self well to the garage and hot having to move the car to access the cupboards...At the short end of the L shape cupboards I keep the containers of flatware, inside each container are two to three plastic bags of silverware, much easier to just open and take out one plastic bag for the tablescape...this system works well for me...
Also are large baskets of different items, one is faux foods to add to the scapes, always fun to use...
these baskets are napkin rings, I do love unusual napkin rings...someday I think I will just do a post on your favorite napkin rings...
More napkin rings and place card holders, they kind of go hand in hand...
I love quality hand painted crystal goblets, for wine for water or even lemonade...so pretty and I ave found some real treasures at the GoodWill, some beauties from Lenox...Also below is a Mexican fiesta with all the pretties that accompany that theme, I must do one of those this summer...
You remember those Pansy glasses, well there they are...lol
You gotta love the african safri theme with all the monkeys, it is the funnest and I even have a large gorilla to be the centerpiec...
All the electrical for the sprinkler system is inside this cupboard with some real beauties, love the pretty soft pink goblets and of course the Warren Kimbal red white and blue dishes, I think those are probably staple for tablescapers...
More dishes ....
These would be pretty with a pretty summer drink with cherries and pineapple...
Those are the cow and farming dishes, I have used in the past and I know I will use again....More Warren Kimbal lighthouse dishes and cups, perfect for this summer...
These are all fun with breakfast, you can eat and read your cup.
More glasses, these aqua ones will be perfect with my shell seashore scape...
I love the star plates and had fun doing a New Years Eve tablescape....it was so fun and colorful...You will notice the cute Valentine dishes below.,those I have just acquired..I saw them on Susan's blog, between naps on the porch and they were at her friend Marie's house....well it was love at first sight...can't wait till Valentines Day comes around again...found on ebay...
This is my garden ladybug set and it is the cutest ever, the perfect garden party with my friends the lady bugs...
We are back inside the kitchen and this cupboard houses some of my Moms dishes and some white pieces.................
Some dishes are just waiting around for their cups to come in the mail before they can have a home...
These pretty Lenox plates will go with my everyday plates.........
This living room cabinet houses some baskets and that is where the napkins are stored, the baskets are quite large and do a great job....
You can see some of the dishes below with the baskets....
Above the frig is the depression glass, some from my Mom some from Mary and some from my sister Bobby and some I purchased...
This cabinet above the Microwave is for my best wine glasses and the ones I actually use all the time...
Love these beautiful plates, the little birdies are just so sweet....
Just perfect for a little luncheon for 4 and a spot of tea..yay
Almost forgot this little cupboard in the den with the tureens...then there is a hall glass enclosed closet that houses serving dishes pie and cake plates ect....
ok I think that will be it...I know you all have some creative places where you keep your treasures...it is great when you can keep then where you can find them and actually see them and get to use them...Thanks for joining me and please leave a comment so I know you are actually out there...If you are not already a follower, come on over and follow me.....
