I wanted a curio cabinet to put my Native American art collection, and Jeff's John Deere collection, but I wanted something more of the era of my house. I had stalked antique shops, Ebay, and ads and never saw anything that really appealed. I then went to a furniture shop and special ordered one instead. I love Mission Style furniture, and there are sub styles. I find I like the style called Prairie Mission.
It arrived Saturday, but I have been a wee bit busy so haven't installed the shelves or filled it with my treasures.
I like my shamrock. There are times it struggles, but it always bounces back. It even has flowers again this year.
I love to cook, and I love my kitchen, but standing at the sink can cause some back pain at times. I found this neat comfort mat on Groupon and it really helps.
I like shop hops. I went with a group of women from the guild....but I will save that for another post. Now head on over to LeeAnna's at Not Afraid of Color to see the other I like Thursday posts.
It's amazing the similarities between your curio cabinet and the corner unit my husband inherited from his Mom - I posted about it a couple of posts ago ... good for you to make sure you found one you really liked!
ReplyDeletelove your new cabinet. it will look fabulous once filled with your treasures.
ReplyDeleteYour new cabinet is lovely...perfect for housing your collections. I like that mat idea, too. TGIF--enjoy the weekend hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteGreat likes! My friend loves her shamrock; she puts it out on the porch in the summer and swears the hummingbirds love them. I love your curio cabinet! It is so lovely and can't wait to see it full! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe cabinet is beautiful and looks big enough to hold all those treasures of yours and Jeff's. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 comfort mats in my kitchen, and may be getting at least one more.
ReplyDeleteHi Colette!
ReplyDeleteI had to giggle at little Bobbin photo bombing the cabinet, which looks great by the way. And so does your shamrock! I haven't had any luck with one, but yours is happy and blooming. ~smile~ Roseanne
Very nice cabinet...bet it will look great with your two collections! Hope your weekend is wonderful my friend!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful curio cabinet. Your shamrocks are doing so well. Mine do better outside here.
ReplyDeleteOh, your cabinet looks so lovely. You must show us again when you have all the bits and pieces in please.
