Spring Dressing

I love rearranging my kitchen dresser.

 
Springtime deserves a new arrangement.

 
This is how it looked before.


 
I love mixing new things - my Cath Kidston Christmas presents - with charity shopped vintage china.

 
Postcards and tins.

 
Hope you find something you like.



 
 
Love, Liz

LOVE LOVE your dresser, I have one too only not as pretty as yours, and I also love to dress mine from time to time!

I just love your vintage things, cups and tins, and doilies, and plates..... in fact EVERYTHING!

I couldn't tell you which I love more - your old Oxo tins or your beautiful little jug full of polkadot cutlery - it's all lovely :-)

Very attractive and the colors are so pretty. Longing for a Spring day, we just had 12 inches of snow in Wisconsin.

Love it! I'd love to have a dresser like this in our kitchen

My mum did the same thing taking the glass doors off her kitchen dresser, much prettier. Love all your hanging china cups and the jug holding all your spotty cutlery

It's fun to get new things out to display with the changing seasons. Love all your pretty floral Cath Kidson pieces.

You've inspired me to go have a reshuffle as not happy with mine at the minute! I think we are all frustrated vintage shop owners, wanting to arrange gorgeous bric-a-brac vignettes!!

Jacquie said...

Gorgeous. The bottles and straws are my fab, Tx

Patricia said...

Ooh I love if. I want one. We got rid of an oak dresser years ago. If I'd only known about stripping and distressing then I think I'd still have it. But hey ho and it wouldn't go with my present decor so that's that then. Have a great weekend.

PS I do collect CK though and my kitchen is adorned with vintage bits - but no dresser! :(

Tweed Thoughts said...

Absolutely love this Liz - makes me want to go out and get a dresser!

Love your dresser! I adore vintage tins and your collection of china is really beautiful.
Nice work.

I love how you rearranged your kitchen dresser.But it was nice before too. There are so many things to look at, to discover and to rediscover. The vintage china is so pretty. And the whole dresser is purest eye candy.
