Tweaking Cabinets, Hutches and Shelves ~ Part 2 Dining Room Hutch/Side Table, TV Cabinet

In my last post, I shared how I gathered all my

Rose Chintz by Johnson Brothers China and

placed it all together so I could gaze upon it daily.

That of course, lead me to redo my Hutch in the

Dining Room, Side Table and Cabinet Shelves

that surround our BIG Ugly TV.

Would you like to see the results?

Now here is Part 2...

My Hutch resides in my very Royal Blue

Dining Room...which is VERY hard to picture

due to my chandy that I have added single cups, pearls

and floral too.

One of the first collections I started during the

first years of my marriage over 27 years ago was

tea cups and plates that were mainly English Bone China.

Of course, the main themed patterns are of Roses!

Over the years I have gathered and been gifted with

tea themed goodies that now reside mainly in this room.

For my 5th Anniversary my sweetie got me the

beautiful Silver Tea/Coffee Service that I am now displaying.

A number of the silver pieces were either my grandma's

or found on my many treasure hunting expeditions.

OK, question, would you suggest painting my insides

of this hutch? 

I have seen so many do this out there in blogland

and on Pinterest.

 I debated doing this before I put everything

back up, but am not sure what color I would

use...would LOVE to hear your ideas.

Above is the side sofa table that I brought into this

room last year.  I am now using it for more

display of my tea cup and milk glass collections

I LOVE eye candy and seeing my beloved collections

all together now! 

Onto the gorgeous cabinet that houses our ugly beast! lol

I know we do not usually show the ugly TV's we must

live with.  Yet, in order for you to appreciate my efforts

I decided to share this.  Now, this TV is on its

last legs...when it goes I plan to move the TV over

our fireplace.  Then I may repurpose this cabinet and

use it in our office...that needs a makeover!

I had used the shelving in these space before to house

some of the overflowing collections I have.

As I sat looking at the TV for the past few weeks

I knew it wasn't doing it for me...

While PINTEREST~ING, I came across some

beautiful vignettes and displays and knew I needed

to update my look to reflect the styles of

decor I am trying to achieve.

Most all of these items are things I have picked

up when I was thrifting or treasuring hunting

or Shopped my home.

I hardly ever pay full price for anything if I can

find it for cheap!

I soooo Love the thrill of the hunt and using those

beloved things that speak to me. I honestly believe

that if you buy what speaks to your heart, and

use it in your home...it becomes the truest

form of who you are

and

in helping you create Your Home.

Now, when I see these displays...

they make me smile :~)!

Now my tweaking is done for a while...

I hope I have inspired you to tweak your

shelving to reflect who you are!

Be Blessed!
