Many of you asked to see the cabinet when it was all stocked up with dishes, so I’ve been moving things around. I’m enjoying the new cabinet SO much and it’s nice to have the extra storage and display space for my green Bordallo dishes. I should have thought about this a long time ago! What took me so long? These pics were all taken at night so you can see how pretty the lights look inside the cabinet.
I knew I’d get questions on the wall color: It’s Laura Ashley Olive 4 from Lowes.
The breakfast area of the kitchen. The granite is not done yet, hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will get moving on that. Everything is chosen and ready to go, just have to get moving on it.
I was really happy that HUGE fruit platter fit up in the top of the cabinet. That piece goes with my Macy’s set of fruit dishes that is stored in my French cupboard. So, here I added some green Bordallo dishes and a few of my white pieces. And of course, some bunnies had to find their way in here.
These bunnies were popular a few years ago, but I haven’t seen them lately. They are crackled and glazed and look like Old world bunnies.
That large metal fruit tray on top, I’ve had a long time.
So glad I added the lights.
This little oil painting is a yardsale find for $1.00 and the plate I found years ago at a home store somewhere.
A lime green thriftstore teapot mixes in well with my dishes.
This little bunny on a plate is such a delicate piece and also made by Bordallo.
Here are the Old World bunnies up close. I have a few made like this and found most of them at TJ Maxx or Marshalls a few years ago.
The big bunny holding the carrot is from the same line. See the bunny lamp with the shade? I found that one years ago at a yardsale and I still remember it was $7. It’s made of iron, I think and I dearly love the little thing. Covered the shade in one of my window treatment fabrics.
Yardsale clock and an original watercolor that Grandma Eleanor gave us. It was done by a local Birmingham man, who was her art teacher years ago. He’s really good.

That pear print was a Homegoods find many years ago too.
Many of you are new and won’t know that I found this chandelier at a yardsale in 2007 for $20. I was ecstatic over that one! And if you’d like to read more about this French cupboard, click here for an old post.
The granite project is still on, but my hubby wanted to take our time and not rush into it since this is a costly endeavor, but we’ll be moving forward with it this week and first up will be ordering the sink (please, soon as I’m more than ready to get started!). He’s also less than enthusisatic with the demolition process and the disruption to our daily kitchen life for a few days. I’m talking him through it and have promised he will not miss any meals. 🙂 To say I’m excited about it is an understatement and I can hardly wait to get rid of the old tile. I hope to have this done in a few weeks.
fabulous project! Thanks so much for visiting my blog’s 100th post give~away! Hugs, Erin
Lookin' good Rhoda! You should see my kitchen!! I have no counters and no doors on any of the lower cabinets. It's a mess, but at least we worked on it this weekend!! I also got the sink & faucet ordered. Hope to get the granite ordered this week as well as the new fridge. Can't wait to see your granite!!
A beautiful room indeed. Everything looks gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

The room looks beautiful!!! I love the window treatments. Your corner cabinet turned out great!! I know you are proud of it. You are such an inspiration! Love & blessings from NC!
Looks great! Love all the paintings and the bunny lamp is adorable!
It looks beautiful!!! I received a yellow Bordallo cake stand in an Easter swap this year. I would love to find more pieces.
I am absolutely smitten with the zebra accessories! I have been dying to get one of those amazing rugs like you won for my kitchen. Just redid our kitchen in black cabinets and GREEN and had been trying to decide black and white damask or zebra… I think I like zebra!
Everything looks great. Had to laugh about the ra! ra! with hubby for the new countertops. I just did one of those for refinishing stair treads and getting a new carpet runner this coming week. He’ll love it when it’s over and done with and he won’t even remember the torn up kitchen….it will look so pretty!
I love the cabinet and the whole room is stunning!
BEAUTIFUL! You didn’t explain the backing to the cupboard, but looks like burlap that you stenciled words to. Just stunning!
Blessings, Marsha
You have such a gift for putting everything together and making it work! It’s just beautiful!
Everything looks GREAT!!
Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
What a beautiful kitchen! I love the colors you have used in there.
Thanks for sharing!
Rhoda, the new cupboard is just gorgeous. I love all the bordello that you display inside. You have a great knack for displaying things in such a beautiful manner. The dining area is just gorgeous. Love it all. Hugs, Marty
Oh those bunnies. I love the old world crackle. I just wonder where you store all of your stuff in the off seasons? You must need a second home. You could use mine and I will just pretend it is Spring in October.
Rhoda –
Love the cupboard and the bordello dishes, simply beautiful. And you got the chandy for $20???? What a great find. Lovin the bunny lamp too. 🙂
Toni
I just love, love your style! I think I may have just as many bunnies in my house as you do. 😉
Everything looks great! What a lovely room!
Everything is looking great – just as I expected. 🙂 Every decision you have made is PERFECT!
Can’t wait to see the other completed projects.l

Ms. Rhoda, you never cease to amaze me. Everything you touch is instantly beautiful. The corner cabinet looks stunning with all your precious dishes and bunnies, and yes…the lights are the icing on the cake!
Just wanted to let you know I’m hosting a giveaway on my blog. I’m finally opening an etsy shop. something I’ve dreamed about for years. Needless to say, I am soooo excited about it! Thanks so much for your friendship and support.
