My Hubby's Artistry

[aearwen2]

I just have to share the wonderful curio cabinet that my hubby has built to hold the bulk of my remaining Orient doll (etc) collection. Solid oak, mirrored back and bottom, glass shelving, and drawers big enough to not only hold extra sofa pillows and fleeces, but any games that would otherwise not fit in our games drawers in the pantry.



With this, my living and dining room is complete.





His next project is a "jump box" for daughter Súl's crossfit training exercises. After that, I think we're going to tackle either the bathroom or the kitchen, as both need some serious repairs and/or upgrades. Comes with living in a 100+ year old house that hasn't seen renovation since the 70's...

How beautiful! He does lovely work, and you have a nice collection!

Also, I suspect we have those same (or similar) plates! Where did you get them from? Are they a particular collection, because they really look familiar. ^_^

Thanks. Yes, I'm proud of my collection - which spans this cabinet as well as the one over my piano that I think I posted a while back.

That is an Imari plate and bowl set that I got from a fleamarket for a mere pittance. From what I can gather, they are collector's items, but I just love the composition and color use.
