White Cupboard

This is the amazing cupboard that I just got at Romantique Boutique in Erie PA. It is funny because I had been asking my husband to build me a cupboard just like this for our dining room. I didn't think that I would be able to find an old one that would fit in this little corner but turns out I did! This awesome cupboard is a perfect fit and is exactly what I envisioned in this space. I wanted something tall and skinny with doors so that I could put all of my entertaining dishes together. Plus this wall is right off our kitchen so it is easy to grab the dishes should I need them in there.



They all fit in there perfectly along with my linens, my hotel silver and some old crocks. I have been trying to buy furniture with its original white paint (along with the rest of the world I know) because painting an old piece white doesn't ever have the same effect. This wonderful cupboard has its original white paint and has a great "vintage" look. Oh I could go on for hours....I have a cupboard obsession clearly.



I love the look of open shelving, but we have lots of that in our dining room already. I don't like rooms to look too busy so this cupboard helps to balance the room and give it a beautiful simplicity.

  2. Hi Mel.....we really do have similar taste! When I showed my husband your picture of your kitchen sink and countertops with the stuff on them he thought it was our kitchen!

    As for your blog...go to your blogger.com page and click or touch on Layout. Then click on "Add a Gadget" . Then choose "Blog List". Then you can make a list of all the blogs you follow.
