out with the new, in with the old…
by Maple & Magnolia on January 30, 2012
I’d had my eye on this gorgeous pine china cabinet and farmhouse table at Pink Geranium for several weeks.
They spoke to me, they beckoned to me, they haunted my dreams. Okay, maybe that’s a teensy exaggeration. But I really did love them.
Last week they came to live with us. An early 20th anniversary present from my main squeeze. 😉
The china cabinet is humongo…82 inches wide. It was so much fun to style with my ever-growing ironstone collection.
Thanks for letting me share.

Oh Susan, it looks soooo fantastic. Lovely, beautiful collection. Nice job!
Thanks! Did you recognize a few of those pieces?
Beautiful! You know, I almost bought that table. The same EXACT one. I was in there a couple months ago…I visited her a couple times. So glad she got a good home. She’s a beauty! The hutch is ridiculously awesome. Wow!

Anne, if you had been adopted and I had been adopted, I would believe we were twins separated at birth. Except that I’m older and we look nothing alike. But other than that yeah…totally twins! 😉
What a great find. Wish I had your imgination and creativity. Enjoy all of your posts here in Montgomery.
Thanks, Paula! 🙂
I can see why you were dreaming about them! Love the mix of chairs too!

Aw, thanks Stacey! 🙂
Oh, the new china cabinet is GORGEOUS! That trim work on the top is incredible. And of course, your collection looks beautiful in there!
That is one gorgeous china cabinet and looks perfect in your beautiful home! Your table looks ALOT like the one we just gave to our daughter for their new house. Love your styling of the cabinet too. XO, Pinky
I’ve been envious of your finds before, but now I’m realllllly jealous! They are incredibly awesome! What a good hubby you have =)
What an amazingly gorgeous piece!! You are going to have fun with all different displays. I look forward to seeing how you change it out during the different holidays! I’ve never been to the Pink Geranium. Definitely going to have to check it out sometime!
They are both gorgeous pieces. I would sell my oak cabinet in a heartbeat for a beautiful pine piece with that lovely patina. Your ironstone collection is very pretty and really looks great there.
…So what did you do with your previous furniture? (These ARE lovely, by the way.)
I’m a new subscriber, and very much enjoying your column.

Hi Cindy, I took them to the same consignment store where I bought the new pieces. A little switcheroo!
It’s very beautiful, I love it ! And I love your ironstone collection.
The cabinet is gorgeous and I love how you’ve decorated it! Congrats on the 20 years, too! Our 20th is coming up in April!
