Tweaking Cabinets, Hutches and Shelves ~ Part 1 Rose Chintz by Johnson Bros.

I have a confession to make...

I LOVE dishes!

Yep, it is very evident when you walk into

any room in my home that I like dishes.

I also LOVE to use these dishes on my walls,

in displays and vignettes and of course

filling up the cabinets, shelves and hutches

all around my home.

A few years ago I took a blah so called

Bulters Pantry area our builder just added lower base

cabinets too with a mirror behind (really?)

 but no upper cabinets or shelves.

Well I got creative and I share with you

HERE

how I created what you now see.

As I was doing my fall decor and cleaning,

as I go (do any of you do this?) that got my

mind whirling.

I decided to bring ALL my gorgeous

collection of Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers

into this area where I could see it on a daily

basis now.  I had some of it in my dining room hutch

but I really wanted to *SEE* these

dishes, so I began the process of

moving these, rearranging this cabinet

and of course my hutch (Part 2).

Many years ago, my mom was handed this box of

an almost complete set of these dishes! for free!

About 5 or 6 years ago, she decided she wanted

to keep 4 each of a place setting.

She then gave me what was left, knowing I could

scour shops and on-line places to fill in a set for me.

And that is exactly what I have done. I continue

to work on completing this into a 8-10 place setting.

I am getting closer...

Being a LOVER of all things roses and having red

as one of my favorite POP colors this has fast become

my most favorite set of dishes that I own.

I have added a few other pieces that are in the chintz

family to fill in. And now am so happy with

my stylish display.

The cups inside pretties has to be one of my favorite

things about this set.  Next to that are the square

luncheon plates.

But then again, I do love this entire set, shape

and everything about it!

I hope this has inspired to you get those beloved

collections of dishes and family heirlooms

out for you to see and display!

Be Blessed,
