Rearranging the China

If your one of my followers you know I recently purchased some new dishes.  To be honest, I've actually added quite a bit of dishes lately to my cabinets this year.  I've added several sets of salad plates, dinner plates and outdoor plates too!  All this plate buying has led me to do some rearranging! 


Since it is time for Table Top Tuesday I thought I'd share my kitchen china cabinet.  I still have several other sets of dishes in my other cabinets but I tried to put some prettier ones in here that would show well together!  I hope you don't mind seeing real china mixed with earthenware, stoneware, and plastic!  If you do, you may want to skip down to some of my other vignettes I'm sharing today also.


Here's my built in kitchen cabinet and it's new look.

Let's take a peek inside!

On the top shelf I have a mixture of my grandmother, Nana's china, and serving pieces from her china and my china.  I also have a mixture of coffee cups from her china, my china, and my stoneware.

On the middle shelf I have my china plates to the left, Nana's china plates to the right and my new Franciscan Ivy serving pieces.  I also have my beautiful melamine bird plates in the back.

I just love how the bird plates look near the Ivy pieces.

Then on the bottom shelf I have plates, plates and more plates!  I have more of Nana's china plates on both the left and right side.  I have a huge amount of her china!

Then shown in the middle, I have my white fruit plates, moved into this cabinet from other shelves in the kitchen.  This freed up space to put some other plates that don't coordinate as well with these, on the shelves.  I also have some pretty green plates I got this year from a church sale and my new ivy plates and finally more plastic plates.

This was fun rearranging this cabinet and I'm very pleased with the results.  Now, if I can just get the rest of my family to remember where everything goes!  LOL!

Don't leave yet, I want to show you a few other vignettes today as well!

Remember my newest rooster, well, here's where he ended up, in the kitchen.

 I thought you might also like to see this vignette on my side table in the dining room.

 Since I was working on something else in the dining room today I thought I'd show you this one too!  Don't peek in the mirror now, I'll  be sharing that this week also, I promise!

Looks like a case of the blurries today...sorry!

Oh and one more thing I just have to share!  I have had these purple wired beads that go around a candle for years.  For some reason I have never like them on a candlestick.  Recently I was cleaning out a kitchen drawer and saw them and put them on the top of these lamps!  In case you didn't know I love me some bling, so this was super exciting!  I just love it!  Try it if you like too!  I love sharing ideas!

Well, that's it for today, Hope you enjoyed peeking at a few of my vignettes.  I really love looking at everyone else's, they are always so inspiring!  Be sure and click on the link below to see more if you enjoy looking at vignettes as much as I do.  You will love it!
