over on Between Naps On The Porch
A minimalist I'm not. I like a lot of "stuff" and "things" around me, lots of visual
impact and eye candy around my house. But during the holidays, it sometimes becomes
just way too much with the addition of the holiday boughs and baubles, cakes and
cookies, garlands and gifts, plus the toys and tchotkes. And then there is the TREE.
In the interest of calming a major part of this visual overload I put simple panels of fabric on
cafe rods in the dish storage cupboard and closets in the pantry hall. For about $50 I have
hidden some of the clutter of all those dishes and accessories used for our everyday dishes.

What are you doing to spruce up for the upcoming holidays?
Thanks for stopping by again today, I hope you'll drop by during
this coming week for a couple more tablescapes and a look at some
more of my vintage pottery collection.

Hi Candy! What a gorgeous tree! Now as much as I love seeing all your wonderful dishes I love love your fabric behind the glass doors! So nice. I did this to a little built in desk area with cabinets above in my breakfast room.
ReplyDeleteLove your home.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Wow, everything is amazing -- i love your house!!!
ReplyDeleteFabric on the doors looks wonderful. I like seeing your dishes, but I like it this way, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea, I love this!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to change the look of your doors..tree looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I love it and the fabric is beautiful! Thank you for all of your creative ideas!

Your tree is gorgeous!! I think hanging the fabric on the doors made it more elegant looking!! Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog via BNOTP. Love, love, love it. I'll be back often to visit.
ReplyDeleteI just love that tree! It is very festive. The fabric looks great and really adds something to the space. Girl, you are so blessed to have such a great storage area!

Your cabinet curtains are fabulous, Candy, and so is the storage! Is that this year's tree?
ReplyDeleteSuper!
I think I'll be changing my dining room window treatments for the holidays.
I like seeing your dishes too, but then I don't live with looking them everyday.I can imagine the fabric tones down all the brilliant colors and allows to you focus on one color or theme for the holidays. It's a nice change. Good thing is you can undo and look at all the pretty colors later. Love everything you do! Hugs and Blessings!~Ames
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning tree!
ReplyDeleteAnd the fabric panel idea is just perfect. You can really focus on the gorgeous tree!
The fabric panels look so pretty. Adds a lot of softness.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I'd love a place like that to store my dishes. You tree makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteWhat magic. Love the mirrow over the desk. Did you do this or purchase? I would like to do something like this for our first grandchilds room. Any comment would be wonderful. Thanks. mar
ReplyDeleteThank you all for coming by. ... I'm loving the calmer look of the dish cabinets, but it is not a permanent thing. That's what I love about it, I can take them down when the mood strikes or change the fabric for yet another look without a big investment of time or money!
ReplyDeleteThat's last year's tree ..... hoping to bring a new look to my tree this year, just need to get to work on it and stop thinking and talking about it. I need to get to the "do it" stage!
Mar - I think you must mean the mirror in the sidebar??? I've had that for probably 20 years and I think it came from Horchow if I remember correctly. This is the third house it has lived in with us. :-)

Your tree is beautiful, but I am so envious of your dish storage closets. It looks so nice with the fabric on the doors.
ReplyDeleteYour storage closets look marvelous with that gorgeous fabric. Great way to hide the clutter. Thanks so much for joining the party!
ReplyDeleteLove the damask and the storage cabinets are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is so pretty. I love the way this looks. I'm headed to go check out more of your blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThat tree is HUGE!!! Love the new panels!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Boring to Better party!! What gorgeous cabinets! Love the look of the curtains in the glass! The fabric is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea! The stripe looks like seersucker in yellow and white, Sweet! You know I must agree with you I love my space to be full of things that I love. I love the jam packed tree, just how a Christmas tree should be, IMHO!
ReplyDelete~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
I would die for cabinets in my kitchen like those. They look good with and with out the fabric.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Lisa

Candy, taking a look at all these ideas tonight as I try to figure out more storage ideas for myself. Boy would I love to have these large cabinets.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the curtains on the inside. ~ Sarah
Hi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI love my curtains in my cabinets! Originally I thought I might remove them after the holidays, but I am still enjoying them as Spring approaches.
