With all the talk about kitchens I thought I would share my something special in my kitchen. I designed the cabinet to fit this china. Only an 8 piece set fits with 2 platters and the extras... however I designed it myself and have never seen another like it. The chipped piece was a special gift, so the chip doesn't matter.

That is so nice, it definitely showcases your beautiful dishes! I love it!

Thank you! I am not much into decorating, this however is a joy.

Very nice indeed! The display is lovely and the china simply gorgeous. I would have to place a sheet of paper towel in between those gorgeous plates and bowls to prevent scratches. I love the shape of the cups, sugar and creamer and bowls and plates. It really appeals to me, Christine.
Love it! hugs, Meg

I did not know, I will do it immediately. Thanks Meganne

I love your china cabinet and your china! I would have to have a door of some sort on it though, for two reasons. First of all, the dust would collect so fast that I wouldn't turn around twice before it needed to be dusted, and second, I would need protection against earthquakes. We don't get them super often, but when we do, there are only so many things that we can hold up during that time. Doors with the child latches help greatly!
Enjoy your cabinet. It is very visually pleasing!

Do you think it should go down the middle or follow the wood up? Thanks

A very useful cabinet and most unusual. Love how the shelf at the top is open. Your china is very pretty.

What a great design! there is never enough room for the oval platter, and it works with yours! I love it!

Hi Jan! thanks so much. I am going to make plate covers for the stacks on the bottom shelf and the saucers behind the white bison.

Great show piece! Perfect design for the china...

Yes I do, This was my first very own kitchen and this piece goes with me should I leave this house for another.

Hi Chris, very practical and well set out. If you need to find a piece of crockery, china etc. go to Replacements Limited. I have a beautiful German dinner setting that I've had for years and if a piece gets broken I send away for it - I don't have to wait for a year either!! I live in Australia and this company is in Greensborough, North Carolina, USA. The address is 1089 Knox Rd., McLeansville, NC, 27301-9228. They have millions of pieces to select from. Love Chris

Wow! this place is incredible. It says it has in stock my butter dish for less than what I paid. I also found a couple of pieces I would like. not sure if they would fit in the cabinet. lol! the gravy boat and the covered casserole. wooo and awww.

This place also goes further in that I believe they will drill holes in the china to make candy stands or glue mirrors to plates and make music boxes. I bookmarked it. Thanks!

It's perfect for your dishes! How lucky for you to have it custom made.

It is a small kitchen, so I was so happy to put it up instead of a closed cabinet. That is my back door slider next to it.

It's a beautiful cabinet filled with beautiful china.

Thank you so much.

Love the cabinet; a lot of thought behind the functionality of the design. Great job. Very pretty china also. :)

Thank you, the china was an anniversary gift. I waited a year for the butter dish. Lol!

It is really lovely and practical! No chip worries me when it is something I love. Enjoy.

I enjoy it when it is clean, and I live in the dustiest town I know! I was thinking of putting glass doors on, today it is a good idea! I think if they meet when the center rail is, should look OK?
