This is what the outside of the pantry looks like.
It's hard to get a very good picture here, as you can tell!
I bought an old door and Large changed the door knob over to the other side and put it on a swivel so that it swings back and forth.
Of course, you have to have a chandelier in the pantry.
The light switch in here is motion censored, so when you walk in, the lights pop on!
It is awesome!!
I thought I would try to show you a better picture of this old door.
The door swings, so you don't have to turn the handle and open it and also it will stay locked back against the wall when you are using the pantry a lot.
A peek through the door.
Now, on to the dishes!
I have most of my old and some new crocks and bowls on the top shelf.
Then my collection of creamers and small pitchers.
Below that is jadite, my favorite.
Here is a much better picture of the jadite.
On the shelf below the jadite is a miscellaneous bunch of Pyrex bowls.
I have a shelf dedicated to glass ware.
On around the corner.
Some Pyrex bowls and I am starting to collect the bubble dishes.
I also have some cabbage dishes that are very nice to put salads in.
Then the last side of shelves.
How do you like my light on this side of the pantry?
The china dishes in this picture are from the Methodist church in Winston, the town I grew up in, very cool.
On down the shelves on this end are more Pyrex bowls, then a few vintage pitcher and glass sets .
There is a bit of moon and stars canisters and dishes that I bought at my grandmas auction.
I also have a few delphite dishes, which I love.
Aaahhhh! My fiesta ware!!!!
We ate at my Grandma Stoup's house every Sunday after church off of fiesta ware.
My cousins and my brothers and I would fight over the cobalt blue dinner plate every week!
Every time I look at these dishes I can taste her roast beef, mashed potatoes and her gravy was the best!!
I also have a small collection of cake stands.
And a few cookbooks.
Some from Paula Deen, Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, The Farms Chicks, Gooseberry Patch, and Susan Branch.
This little red cart is on the other wall.
I have all of the things we need for drinks on it.
I love to change this room around, so I'm sure you'll be seeing it again.
More later...............................Sally
