I don’t suppose you still have the exact name/model of your china cabinet? I saw on an earlier post you said it was from the Lexington Furniture Company, but I’m having a tough time finding it. My fiance and I saw your cabinet in a google search and this is the first one we’ve both loved! Help please!
Thank you!

We bought a cool Drexel china cabinet off of CraigsList with the intention of using it as a cooling cabinet (we have cats ) for $50, made in the 60′s. It had a dated finish, so I painted it antique white, bought some new ‘vintage’ hardware, we took out the glass in the doors (it already had a diamond-shaped wire design, similar to chicken wire in the doors as well), and it’s perfect. I store pretty pottery and such on the top two shelves, and on the bottom I have Wilton stackable cooling racks. It looks like something out of an old-timey bakery. It sits in a hallway off of the kitchen, which gives that otherwise useless space some great life.

I also got a VERY nice Woolrich (yes, they make furniture, too) hutch that I traded a handmade quilt for (I found a similar hutch online for $2000), and it sits all lonely in an unused corner of the living room. We have knickknacks in it, but I’d love to put something nicer. I really like the idea of stacking quilts, and pretty vintage fabrics, but also going with a seasonal theme. Maybe I can find a way to combine the two! Thanks for all of the great ideas!
