I have only been "collecting" dishes for a few years, so my collection is not as large as some..
I have found that Craig's List armoires sell REALLY CHEAP (nobody wants them anymore. They don't work well with the flat screen tvs) I have bought several lately for $20-$40.
Ok, lets start with my every day dishes. Of course, they are stacked in my kitchen cabinets
Ten we move to the dining room. We have a Craigs List armoire (used to be a computer armoire 'til my husband re-worked it for me)
Here I keep tablecloths, placemats and napkins
Below we keep some glasses (and what-nots) Looks like there are a few candles in there, but I was going to change that :)
Silverware down below.
Napkin rings in the drawers.
Then, there's the
Another armoire (this one's from Goodwill)
Dishes on top and chargers on bottom
Oh, then there is the Guest closet ...MORE dishes and tablescape treasures :)
Good thing I don't get many guests!!

For someone who hasn't been collecting for very long, I would say you are doing a "super-job" of catching up! I really like the ways you have stored things, especially all those lovely linens!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,
DeleteI am working HARD at it! LOL
The GREAT deals at JCPenney (last year)and the Tuesday Morning Deals I blogged about have SURE been making it EASY and AFFORDABLE!
