My new babies!

Okay, so I'll divulge. About 90% of the furniture in our home is second hand bought. Our sofas, Ikea Granemo cabinet, Ikea highchair, TV sideboard, queen size bed (now the guest bed) are the only items purchased brand new!

Now we have the fifth! And largest! A china cabinet!
Bought at the clearance store of Provincial Home Living for only 1/3 of the retail price.



I love it! At the moment in our spacious home, it only stores what I like to display. But if we move into a smaller premise (which might be the case soon), this will become our bookcase, linen closet and china cabinet. (Which was my excuse for getting it!)

The last two shelves are filled with my now complete Johnson Bros dinner & coffee setting! Scored a large pile of it on eBay for $20 two weeks ago. In an antique store, or to gather it in bits and bobs as I have been doing for the past 2 years would have cost up to $200, thanks, Mrs Ebay-Person!
