A New Addition

Yesterday a little dream came true for me!  I got a china cabinet!  When David and I were engaged, I discovered I have a passion for china....I know it sounds crazy, but I think my dream job would be owning a store that exclusively sells china.  When I was a little girl, I remember my grandmother taking me in her dining room to show me her table, decorated with beautiful china, gorgeous napkins, and creative centerpieces.  Now my mom does the same thing!  I think I may be following in their footsteps because I have so much fun switching out my china and decorating our table for guests. 

I've always loved china cabinets with a mixture of different types of china, pitchers, glasses, and serving pieces.  I'm thrilled to now have one to display our china and other knick knacks.  I spent a large part of my day yesterday trying out different arrangements for the hutch:

I'm still experimenting, and I'm open to suggestions on how to help this china cabinet reach its full potential!
