Built-in Curio Cabinet with chevron backing!



Have you decided what you want for Christmas this year? I have a suggestion! Why not turn one of your kitchen cabinets into a curio, to display all your lovelies? I love mine!

This is how it looked before:


Then I took the doors off, and it looked like this for a while, before I got the new doors.


It stayed decorated like that for a while after I got the doors as well. I like it to be bright in the spring and summer. I got the doors from The Closet Butler in Kaysville, UT. The Closet Butler is fabulous! They have built many things in my house, including the built-in shelves in my laundry room, and the lockers in my mud room. I never posted final photos of either room, and I should. They are fabulous! Okay, putting it on the list!

I am LOVING the treatment I gave it for fall and winter. I tacked, yes tacked (with a thumb tack) a piece of chevron fabric (Riley Blake, purchased at Lily Bella Fabrics.) to the top corners, put the shelves back in, and filled it with my lovely collection of milk glass! I love the serenity and calm feel the white brings this time of year.



I know you want to know where I got everything... ;)

Top right: Cake stand I won from a blogger night from One Charming Party!!!
Top left and the whole 2nd row down: DI
3rd row down: The vase was made my my husband's grandma, and has her initials on the bottom... so sweet! The other pot was DI.
Bottom Shelf: Set of bowls from Consign and Design in Farmington, UT, and an old picture frame I painted.


Now, don't you think you should swap out your old cabinet doors for glass doors to brighten up your kitchen?

Have a Happy and Creative Day!

EASY and FREE change to BRIGHTEN UP YOUR KITCHEN

Do you want to brighten up your kitchen? Try removing the doors from one of your upper cabinets... I know the colors of the dishes I chose are a bit bright, but I am tired of winter, and want happy and bright colors in my kitchen for now.

I have ordered glass front doors, and am waiting for them to arrive, but I just couldn't wait to share how much better it looks with just having removed the doors!


Do you like the dishes? I am excited to change things out for different holidays in the future, but for now... I wanted everything bright and cheery! When I first decided to do this, I was worried about the inside being white... I thought it might look cheap. I thought about painting it, or putting fabric or wallpaper on the back, which I may do in the future. But for now, I am loving the white. And, the dishes are busy enough. I am thinking wallpaper would be more distracting, and even fight with what I have going on in there right now. I also thought about putting in glass shelves... Maybe in the future. I am happy with the white for now.


It makes me happy happy happy every time I look at it! I might put lights on each shelf for night time ambiance. What do you think?


Have a Happy & Creative Day!
