Snippets of Blue Makeover

In the ongoing great room makeover, I have totally emptied and cleaned two glass front cabinets. They had the usual bric-a-brac clutter that just accumulates over time and they looked very messy. I guess one gets accustomed to things.  When I started the makeover, I became painfully aware of how bad both cabinets looked.

I filled the cabinets with vintage blue and white china, some white ironstone things, and a few special items.

Breakfront cabinet purchased  when 

we married, a long long time ago!

 Pretend that you didn't notice

that the door isn't painted inside!

 This cabinet got an aged white finish 12 years ago.

Last year I painted the interior dark gray 

 

 I love old bottles and pick them up 

when I find them for a reasonable price

I just happened to have several 

pretty 'blues' in the collection

 The blue glass dish is one of the few things that

 Al has of his mothers so it got a prime spot in the cabinet

I cannot remember where I got the primitive wooden turtle

 that it's sitting on but I have had it a long time

The set of dishes on the next shelf came from

Tuesday Morning - had them for several years

stored away - never used!

The bottom shelf has my small collection

of  spatterware (?) rooster pieces 

We also got those early in our marriage

 I can't seem to get enough white ironstone platters!

I love them

I have a project idea for the great room

but I need more platters to do it!

Hope your week is a good one
