Inside the cabinets I just repainted

While cleaning and repainting my kitchen cabinets, I did mini redoes on the displays inside.

Three of them have glass doors.  The very top shelves were where I kept pretty things rarely used.  
That stuff had been up there for…well, a bit.

It all needed a dusting even though it was behind glass.  And I came across things I didn’t even remember owning.  Those got pulled out and will go to my booth to sell.  Because if they hadn’t been touched in a decade, why do I need them?

My pretties got a little bit of a shuffle, a wiping, then a thinning out.

Except for these. Oh, yes, they got a cleaning off, but that’s it, then they went right back on display with no changes.

 This is a partial set from my mom’s dishes.  When she died, the whole set went to my Sissy, who shared them with Bobbie Sue and I.  We each got two place settings.

All of the cabinets still look plenty full, even with the pruning I did.  And I have more inventory  to haul into Good Juju.  Although, rose pattern china doesn’t seem to be a big draw there.  I try to balance my foofy pretties with some more rustic items for that venue.  

I’m liking that sort of combo in my house too.

See what I mean? This is on my mantel.  Since we added the hearth room with the dark floors and stone wall, I’m using a lot more natural type elements and darker colors.  I’m still all about the Light and Bright with roses, but I like the cabiney-cottagey feel too.
