Inside you'll find a hodge podge of items. This definitely is "not" the look or statement I want to make.
Yikes! Even Springy items. For shame.
After taking everything out and washing it, I started all over. This is ok, but I'm not sure this is exactly what I'm going for.
Even the dishes have their own carpet ball. lol I think the mice might struggle just a wee bit pushing it around.
I brought out all the blue and white dishes. That made more room in the pantry for others sets to take their place.. lol
This darling little tea set was purchased many years ago at Cracker Barrel. Don't you love those sweet piano type legs?
More blue finery. The egg cup belonged to my Betty and means the world to me.
After bringing out the cheese bowl and adding the blue and white bunny I think I'm a bit closer to the look I'm going after.
Ahhhhh!! I think baby mouse is a bit shy! :-))
Then again maybe not. lol It looks like he's introducing himself to Mr. Bunny. :-)
Isn't this the truth?With the sparkle of the fresh cleaned glass...
After standing back and doing just a bit more tweaking.... I believe I can close the doors on yet another completed project. :-)) Thanks for swinging by to see my "little" metamorphosis for this week. Thanks once again Susan for hosting Metamorphosis each week. It gives me that added little push to complete my projects. Now, let's get going and see all the other wonderful changes... hugs ~lynne~

Looks great! Doesn't it feel good to take everything out and wash it? I always dread it, then enjoy it so much; I wonder what takes me so long to start the project. Have a great week. Sally

I just love blue in a kitchen! The mouse and bunny are too perfect in there too. Great job on the cabinet. I love clean glass too.
Lynne,
All your blue & white just speaks to my soul! I love it all!! The blue/floral platter - top shelf, left as you look at the picture is a piece I have! And your Spode candy dish - I have 2 of those, too! It would all fit nicely in my home! Thanks for making me feel at home!!
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs,

You do have the prettiest collection of blue and white!
I saw several familiar things in that post. Hmmmm. I am feeling the urge to go tweek my little bitty blue and white cupboard now!
It's not nearly as fabulous as yours though!
Hi Lynne,
A beautiful re-do.
Great job
Blessings on your week.

If there is anything in that cabinet that you need to "edit" as they say on HGTV I will be glad to send you my address :)Anything to help out! You have such a lovely collection and it looks wonderful now. Doesn't completing a job like this give you a huge sense of accomplishment--immediate gratification!
Youve got a lovely collection of blue dishes Lynne!

Lynne, you have so many beautiful blue and white dishes! I love the cabinet too. The re-arrangement of the dishes looks great!!
Hope you all had a good weekend ...

That sweet little mouse introducing himself to the bunny made me grin this morning. Too cute. Love all of your blue and white dishes!
WOW - so many pretty dishes. What a cute mouse. Yes, I have a lot of "unfinished" spots in my house these days.:)
Lynne, you did such a terrific job on your china cabinet. I just love your collection of dishes, and that rooster is gorgeous!
Here is the link for the granite countertop paint: http://www.liquidstainlesssteel.com/giani/products.html. Let me know when you are ready to do it. There's a couple of tips I'd like to share with you.

I love all the lovely blue dishes--hoping I can gather a collection like yours in time. Beautiful!
Lynne- it all looks so pretty and organized!! I have 3 china closets that look like your before pictures only 2x as much stuff that shouldn't be in there!! My one china cabinet I want to paint so have put off doing anything to except using for a catch all!!
Have a great week!
blessings

Lovely collection
Wow what a fabulous collection - it all looks fantastic. I love that plate with the chocolate quote :)
I think the cabinet looks great with all blue and white. Blue and white dishes are the prettiest, i think! Love your redo. It looks very put together. Thank you for visiting my blog!
I love that tiny little mouse..you have some BEAUTIFUL blue and white, Lynne. I love your cabinet, too. GREAT job!
I had to come back and tell you how beautiful your roosters are. I don't know how I missed them but...well, yes, I do. There were LOTS of people showing their roosters. I haven't made it to all of them yet.
It looks much more organized and makes the blue pieces more special by showcasing them. You have some really fabulous roosters in your other post too. Very classy ones.
Hi Lynne,
I'm in blue and white heaven!! You have a fabulous collection and it was so fun viewing it all! Great re-do and gorgeous stuff! Hugs, Cindy
Beautiful blue and white dishes. This could have also been a Blue Monday post!
I'm forever moving things around in our home. It's a fun pass time!
Have a great week. ~ Sarah
I have several of those bothersome, not quite finished areas. Maybe, this will inspire me to do something about mine.
Yours turned out fabulous.
Rhonda
