So, I have this cabinet, and it needs things to put in it. ( Read more... )
I don't currently have Good China, nor am I likely to acquire any in the near future. Right now, I'm thinking the bottom shelf will house coffee/tea and the somewhat-nonperishable fixins thereof, leaving the top two shelves for glasses/mugs(/saucers, should I decide to buy teacups or something). I've got my eye on some lovely chunky recycled glass thingers, and will likely be making the rounds of the craft fairs here when it warms up to find some coffee/soup mugs from local potters. Maybe a big bowl or platter or two.
I am 90% sure that the space below it is going to have a coffee-maker. At a minimum it is likely to have canisters of something, possibly flour/sugar/whatever if I feel like buying pottery ones, because it's a lovely wide counter and is a work area that's less subject to temperature fluctuations than the one next to the stove.
The "dining room" area is to the left, and some day there will be stools underneath the left-hand edge of that counter, which is standard counter height, not bar-top height, the kitchen is to the right. The outlets/jacks/whatever under the cabinet are cable, power, and phone, and I'm not planning on having either a TV or a phone hooked up there.
So, suggestions? If you were sitting in someone's kitchen staring out past that cabinet, what would you like to be looking at?
