China Cabinet

We spent some time this weekend working on the house a bit, David helped me hang up this lovely embroidered fabric piece, a gift from Agata, of nice Polish ladies cooking. It's in the kitchen, above the washer & dryer, I think she told me it says something like a wife makes a house a home, or something like that. iGoogle translates it to say "A good hostess house makes merry." I like both of those.I am truly excited about my first real craigslist find, this gorgeous china cabinet we got from a nice man in Long Beach. He said he got it from Billy Barty's sister, who he used to do some work for, which makes me feel AMAZING. It's just beautiful though, I'm completely in love with it; it feels exactly my taste and it's the kind of furniture I've always wanted to have, old well crafted wood with lots of history in it. My favorite is the skeleton key that locks all the doors, and the beveled glass windows. I put our beautiful coral bowl wedding gift that I've been storing forever in the center space; it finally has a beautiful home to be displayed in!
