Ok, I took your suggestions and re-vamped this china cabinet. I hope I got rid of the cluttered effect. (Luranda?) Big Grin

View #2. I de-cluttered the top as well (but it looked a little too bare left entirely alone).

That looks great! I still can't believe you got that for 50 bucks! It looks even better in your house!

Absolutely FABULOUS!!!!

You done good. A gorgeous addition to your living room. Didn't spend a lot of money.
Your husband is happy. I think you hit a home run on all counts.

Love,
Mother Hen

Here's a little suggestion, if its ok? I always have a problem getting the balance just right in my glass door armoire - a step back really helps.

I think the bottom shelf needs some help. Some larger items (like the rectangular tray on the second shelf) to make better use of that space as it appears to be the largest of the three areas (height wise).
Your beautiful bunnies, however, would show better if they were placed in front of the clear glass.
BTW, that's a wonderful china cabinet at any price - you did well. Smile

Your wish is my command! I moved a couple of the bunnies, but the large one stays on the bottom shelf I think. (They used to be in storage, emerging only at Easter.)

I had to remove one of the photos to accomplish this; not sure what I think about that. Also changed the plate as I like the blue plate better elsewhere.

Better?

I still can't get over the fact that you only paid $50 for that cabinet. Simply wonderful!

No dining table. I'm using it in the livingroom, not the DR.

Thanks!
