Goodness, can I really show you where I keep it all? I'll try to share these places with you or at least some of them.
My kitchen is fairly large so I do have several units of cabinets. Here's a shot of the kitchen then I'll open a few doors for you.
I store mostly stemware in this cabinet.
Everyday dishes in the next cabinet.
On the other side of the sink, more stemware and glasses. These are mostly everyday glassware pieces.
In the dining room, I have a hutch and base plus a server, so more storage.
The cabinets in the bottom are narrow so limited space.
In one of the guest rooms, I store some cloth napkins in the night stands. Not a good storage place when guests arrive, so I'm working on moving these out and having empty drawers.
I found an old, old, old cardboard three drawer chest in the basement so I am in the process of moving some of the napkins. I think I'll cover the chest with some scrapbooking paper then buy another cardboard chest to store more napkins.
I store many of my tablecloths in one of the guestrooms.
I try to keep these shelves open in the guest room, but sometimes when I am planning a tablescape, I start assembling my pieces and use the shelves for placemats, napkins, and napkin rings.
I have a great space in the hall leading to my master bedroom and bath that I have converted into a china closet plus a few other items like my Peggy Karr Glass pieces on the top shelf.
Well, I have shared many of my storage places with you. It's never ending for me, I'm always reorganizing, rethinking and trying to improve my storage. I have additional seasonal pieces stored in tubs in our storage room. Thanks for stopping in - Judy.

Oh Judy, you did a great job and you have lots of cabinets, which are the best! You are very organized too and I love your color glass cupboard. I see you can hang your table linens, I'm thinking of doing just that! Thanks for your sweet visit. Have a great week ahead.

Judy, I see you like glasses as much as I. They do present more of a storage challenge because you can't stack them. I don't know about you, but I think I'm at my limit on stemware!
ReplyDeleteYou have some great storage areas...after seeing how organized everyone is makes me want to go clean all the hidey holes out! I wish I had one room to dedicate to my tablescaping goodies.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is beautiful, Judy. You have some wonderful storage places and beautiful things in that storage.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Oh, you have so many wonderful places for your dishes and glasses. You're quite the organized one too. I think that really helps when trying to find places for everything!
ReplyDeletebe a sweetie,

Hello and thanks for visiting me at We Call It Junkin. You have such a great collection! I really love all your colored glassware. Hanging tablecloths on hangers is a great idea, I need to do that myself. Take care - Dawn

Judy, that cabinet with your stemware should be open all of the time. You really have some gorgeous stems, and they just glow against the wood in your kitchen. Your closet is fabulous, and the cardboard dresser is perfect for napkins. laurie
