Disclaimer: Please excuse the glass being ridiculously dirty on this cabinet…
I promise I’ll clean the glass when the remodel is all done.
A little earlier this summer I took a fun little trip to HomeGoods with some giftcards that were burning a hole in my pocket. And it was my lucky day, I think, because I found this adorable little cabinet, among other things!
I brought it home not fully knowing where the cabinet would go or what would go in it. I was living life on the edge! Once I got it in the door I realized it was kind of silly of me to bring home furniture since my house was completely torn up in preparation for my upcoming kitchen and flooring remodel. Oops! I was already struggling to find places to stash everything, and now I had to find a place for this little cabinet. I basically just set it in a corner, empty and unused.
Once the kitchen remodel began for real, I was trying desperately to find places to stash all my kitchen stuff, including my every day white dishes. Lo and behold, this little cabinet came in handy after all! We piled it high with bowls, mugs, plates and more. No styling, no perfect stacking necessary.
But you know what? Just like I’ve always said, pretty white dishes always look good on open shelves or behind glass even if they aren’t perfectly styled. You just can’t go wrong with white dishes. I wish I had cleaned the glass of the cabinet before i took this picture, of course, but you’ll forgive me since everything is dusty, grimy and dirty right now due to the remdoel and subsequent lack of cleaning on my part, right? {I’m so ready for my fall routines!}.
When I saw the dishes in it, I fell in love. It doesn’t take much to make me happy!
Now that I can see the light at the end of my kitchen remodel, I am sad to think about taking my dishes out of that cabinet to put them away. So I’m thinking I’ll keep on using it for extra dishes or even my collection of white pitchers. I don’t really have a place for the cabinet in my kitchen, sadly, because wouldn’t it be adorable in a kitchen?, but I think I’ll move it to the dining room this week and see how it looks with those white pitchers! I’ll let you know if that’s where it ends up!
Do you have a little cabinet in your house where you store extra dishes?
