This is what the inside of one side of my china cabinet looks like. I think it looks boring. How do you have yours set up? I wish some of you in "blogger land" would post pictures of your china cabinet so I can get some ideas. Thanks!
Wondering what I want to be when I grow up... still wondering! ;-)

Glenwood Springs, Colorado - 1946
I am married to the most wonderful man who I've known more years than I have not! We recently celebrated our 41 years of marriage.
Our oldest son is our business partner. We farm in Mexico, growing papaya, honeydew and person-size watermelon. We travel back and forth to Mexico to take care of our business. This son is married and has two children. He lives in Mexico to oversee the business.
Our middle son works for Clinical Pathology Lab. His wife is a doctor and recently opened her cosmetic dermatology clinic in Houston.
Our youngest son is a realtor in McAllen, Texas, near where we live. He loves his work and his business is steadily growing.
We lived in Mexico for three years to get our farming operation going. It was an exciting time for us!
My hobbies are genealogy, home decorating and cooking. I love blogging!
I am so very blessed to have a loving family... not only the family my husband and I created, but also my family of friends.
Fall and winter months are when I enjoy blogging the most. Seasons change and I love keeping up with the change in my home.
I have had some amazing experiences with my faith in Christ and I truly feel that God is always with me. I try to live my life the way God would have me live it.

Oh, I so agree, china cabinets are really hard. I would love to see some photos too. Yours looks better than mine. Hugs, Marty
Thanks for stopping by. The tree in the back yard is just called a Purple Plum. It is not fruit bearing, it does loose it's leaves here for a very short time, but then it has the prettiest pink flowers, then leaves again. All of this happens in about a month. I love the dark purple foliage, it really seems to change the appearance of the landscape. My DH said they would do fine in S. Tex. Ours was only a 15 gal. 4 yrs. ago when we moved in, so they also grow pretty fast. It is back to 106 to day and suppossed to be 108 tomorrow. I hope this is the last hurrah. Next week it is suppossed to be in the mid 90's. That will seem cool. lol Hope you have a great day. Hugs, Marty
Hi Karen,
Your china cabinet is lovely. You could give it a bit more character by bringing bring in some different items like candles, small photos on a stand, decorative urns a vintage clock. Even a stack of antique books could be worked in. Be selective about what you display and store the rest if you want it to look like a show piece.

Hi!
You asked if I had painted my lion urns....no, the first picture at our old house, they were wet from a rain storm so they looked darker. At my new house they were dry. They are made of cement and hold moisture...
Once I get settled in my new house, I will post pictures of my cabinet/hutch. But if you want to see what it looks like currently, here is a post I did:
