Before and After Dish Cabinet


Like I said before I wanted to paint the inside of this cabinet now for about two years I seen this color in another cabinet once and loved it.

Before
  what my shabby chippy chic farmhouse cabinet looked like inside
                                                             

                        This was my clutter before                                                
                         
And here is what the top looked liked all piled up with treasures
                                                                                   

I took so many pictures it was hard to decide which ones to show
so this is the inside after I painted it . I just Looovee this color LOL 



Now after the paint dried. it dried very quick, andI got Some of my dishes back in it this morning


Oh didn't you hate to see Downton Abby end last night? 


I'm going to show lots pictures since I am so glad this project is finally done. I still have some of my blue calico dishes in my kitchen cabinet and over my kitchen  window on shelves 


I din't put all my odds and ends back into the cabinet just my Staffordshire Blue Calico dishes 


I don't know what to do with my extras like my spoon holders and other plates, guess i'll put them in a box in my storage room downstairs? I'll put the spoon holders on my counter 


I just think my dishes POP now against the Bird of Paradise  bright coral color I choose. I started collecting this pattern back in 1981 and add to them when I find an odd piece I don't have, first seen therm in a Brides catalog abcak in 1975 and fell in love with them. 


Now to get the kitchen cleaned up and somehow get all this extra stuff put someplace all my cabinets and closets are full packed really. Notice I moved the little corner cabinet out that was standing beside this cabinet. Also I had several mirrors on the shelves and didn't put them back in .
I have my cups and saucers in this large jar since there is no room in the cabinet to set them.
Do you think I should cram them in the cabinet ? LOL




Linky parties I am joining in to show off my cabinet

  1. Janice I love that color - I wear that coral color a LOT, and because it's on the (near orange) opposite side of the color wheel, it's very complementary to your blues! Enjoy that happy color!
