Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

If you've followed my blog for a while, you have seen this pie cupboard that belonged to my grandmother, then my mother.  I painted it white a while ago.  I didn't want to set the table this year with the Christmas dishes, but wanted to use them somewhere in my decor.  I decided to place them in the pie cupboard.   I removed the art above the cupboard, and replaced it with this quilt wall hanging, a gift from my SIL several years ago.  The Christmas dishes were a consignment find for around $20.  It's a 6 place setting with a serving bowl, and suger/creamer.  I placed holly designed napkins on the shelves. I've had the napkins since the eighties, I guess.  The dishes also have a holly design.   The pitcher was found a year or so ago at a consignment shop. I'm enjoying the cheerfulness of this cupboard in the breakfast nook. Sharing here: Share Your Style Share Your C up Hand Made Hangou...

Last year, I used gold chargers.  This year I'm using silver.  They are the only new item on this table, and were 98 cents each at Wal Mart. I could hardly wait to get them out again this year. Aren't they pretty?? This table cloth was bought at the same consignment sale for $4 - $5.  I just draped it over the drop cloth table cloth on the table, since it's only 52" x 70". A perfect cloth with the dishes, don't you think? This pedestal was a KMart find a number of years ago for $5.00.  The green bowl was purchased at a consignment shop near our SW Georgia home.  The...
