the Kitchen Cabinet On Crooked Creek is going green!
Since moving On Crooked Creek, I've always kept my MoMa's Classic Rose pattern Fine China in the Dining Room China Cabinet. I adore MoMa's China! Fine white porcelain, pink roses with silver rims...it is truly beautiful. However; over a period of years, my taste have evolved to a more relaxed style.

So~o~o. . .
after returning from our Anniversary Trip to Kansas City, On Crooked Creek is going green!
"Mr. Ed" & I enjoyed our shopping spree @ Nell Hill's Briarcliff Village Store and were thrilled to find these green urns in varying sizes! I knew the perfect place for them in our home would be in our French Country Style Kitchen and Dining Room!
 |
| Green urns sit atop the Kitchen Dining Room Cabinet. |
If you're a regular On Crooked Creek, you already know that I love Sunflowers!!!
Indoors ~ and ~ outdoors!
"Mr. Ed" has a garden patch On Crooked Creek that is solely dedicated to planting and growing Sunflowers. . .just for me! Every mid~June, Sunflowers begin to abound On Crooked Creek!
 |
| Green urns are the perfect compliment to my favorite Sunflower print! |
 |
| Cabinet empty and ready for going green! |
 |
| Plates placed in the plate rack @ the back of the cabinet. |
 |
| Layering plates to give depth and visual interest to the cabinet. |
 |
| Smaller green leaf plate placed on a small easel to give it more presence. |
With both shelves completed with my Bordallo Pinheira Collection, I needed to add more visual interest .
One thing we have an ample amount of On Crooked Creek is dishes! Adding visual appealing vignettes to my cabinets has become one of my trademarks throughout our home decor.
So ~ o ~ o ~. . .
it was time to go shopping in the treasure trove of accessories and complete what I envisioned the change to become when going green On Crooked Creek!
 |
| My beloved mother ~in~law's green depression dessert plates and bowls! |
 |
| A 1940's green glass batter bowl. |
 |
| A vintage lemon juicer. |
 |
| My only rooster French Country figurines! |
 |
| My favorite "Giving Thanks" figurine! |
I, also, added my green cabbage tureen, a wedding gift from the 1970's ceramic era. I'm really liking the going green look On Crooked Creek. Here's another look from shelf ~ to ~ shelf for you to see for yourself that going green is truly appealing!
On Crooked Creek will be continue going green as we showcase the tabletop of this cabinet in an upcoming post. Stop by for another visit soon to see the cabinet in it's entirety.

| Busy Bea & Busy Bob bid you farewell On Crooked Creek. |
Until next time. . .

The change is stunning. I love all of your beautiful green dishes and the jugs are fabulous. You've displayed them so beautifully with the different sizes and shapes. The figurine and other accessories just finish it off perfectly. Beautifully done. I hope you will like this to Table Top Tuesday tomorrow. It is perfect for the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeletePat I like what you did. When I first saw your post I thought you were going to PAINT the piece and I couldn't believe that!!!
ReplyDeleteI do like it better!
Pat, I am green with envy :). LOVE those green jars from Nell Hill's. Lucky you getting to shop there. I wish she had a store close to Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favorite color and Bordallo Pinheiro is one of my favorite things to collect, so you know I'm loving all that and the way you arranged them.
Hope you have a great week,
Babs

Pat, a little change is always fun! I love the new look for your cabinet. I'm slowly building myself a collection of these Bordallo Pinheira cabbage leaf pieces. I love this look, and they are great fun on a table.

Dropping by from Met Monday... I love your change. The green plates are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the pieces from Portugal! They are so pretty!
ReplyDeletePat, It was great to see all your treasures. I love the cabbage leaf pieces. Isn't it great to have the memory of our grandmother come alive when we use some of their former treasures?

Terrific change, I just love it!! The green is beautiful, specially those plates, are so pretty. Memmories of family are the best, specially when we use it on display, it's like we always pay tribute, I hate it when people just stash them in a drawer...I don't, I use everything, life is short!! Hugs, FABBY
ReplyDeleteStunning change! Loved those beautiful green dishes and jugs. Lovely space you got here.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
