Very nice, I think the pink/red transfer ware is a little more mainstream and not so frou-frou as my soft pink fenton and depression glass. It is much more adaptable to most peoples decorating. It really sets off your wall color. Your cabinet is very unique also, great display.

What a beautiful display, and that hutch is flat out gorgeous. Love the barn doors on it. If I had my way, I'd fill a house with nothing but china cabinets, hutches, and pretty little tables. Oh wait, my family thinks I've done that already. LOL. I would love a hutch of any kind, but a big one like this beauty would be perfect.

hugs, Karen

Ohhhhh, Jaybird, how pretty! I love how you've set off the pieces of your transferware with doilies. I thought that I was the only one these days who still uses them. Love how you've addded the small lamp on top for some nice added soft light, too. But, I'm drooling over your hutch most of all . . . it's gorgeous!

Yummy pink! You have some very nice pieces and I love how you've arranged them. I also like the lamp there, I'll have to see if I have one that fits on top of my hutch as it's a great idea. I'm such a copycat, aren't I! ;-)

Yeah, Jaybird is sharing pics with us again! Gorgeous hutch and the transferware sure does look pretty with your wall color. I too love the idea of the small lamp on top, would not have thought to do that but it is perfect to highlight everything. Luvs

I REALLY love the wall color, what a great background for your pretty pink dishes. Is your dining room all red, or is that an accent wall? - Gail

Oh do Jump!!!
I'm just loving all that I see and could go shopping in your Hutch and be VERY happy!
You have many lovely pieces and they're all displayed so nicely. The color of your room with your beautiful china
is just so warm looking. I love the idea of the lamp on top..that's a great idea to bring the 'eye up' and see what's up there too. Very nice.
Are your shelves individually lighted? I like that you can actually see everything in there.

J, what a pretty display! You have it all arranged so nicely, and the wall color really sets off the transferware. That is a unique hutch -- thanks for showing us all the pretties.

Lee

That's a stunning picture you posted, Jaybird. It looks like something out of a magazine. Your perfect lighting, lovely hutch, dishes and wall color, wow. Can you tell I really like it all?

Jay,
This is just not fair! Only 1 picture! Come on now!

We need one of each side of the top. One of each shelf IN EACH DOOR and one of each of the three things at the bottom so we can JUST DIE with envy up close and personal!

This is soooo pretty. Please let us see more.
Betty

LOL Betty said it perfectly! Way to go Betty! Yep, we need close ups so we can see all the pretty details in those plates. Luvs

blushing here....thank you all so much for your sweet comments.
Slinkey, if you came here, I would LET you shop in my hutch!!!
I will try to take more pictures and post them next week.
The red color is just on that wall...I just knew it would make the hutch the star of the show!
The hutch was built by my Dad..we had a production woodworking business and he saved beautiful boards every time he came across one. He cut the pieces for the hutch over a period of about 10 years, and was most amazed when he put it all together and it fit and looked just as he had planned :^). Even the hinges and pulls are made of wood. My Mom was SOOO proud of it and kept her special dishes in it.
DH made me the lamp out of a small silver plated coffee pot, and a friend made the red toile shade.
Bettye and Luvs, you would probably be disappointed to see the dishes up close and personal...few of them match, and some of them have bumps and bruises :^)
Slinkey, the shelves are lit from the top. Daddy made wooden shelves, but when I inherited the hutch, I slipped the front part of each shelf out and replaced it with glass.
Thank you all once again....my DD has me signed up for a bloggy "Christmas Home" tour. As soon as she takes the pictures, I will post some of them and also include a link to the blog.
Hugs to you all,
J

Jay, that hutch looks beautiful, and the wall color is perfect for your pretty dishes!

Jay, what a special treasure your hutch is. That is such a touching story about its origins.

I like your comment about your dishes: few of them match, and some of them have bumps and bruises :^)
Sometimes that is the best kind.

Lee

Jay, what a special treasure for you to have the hutch your Dad built. I love it when family treasures can stay in the family and be loved. Dishes were made to be used, and a few "bumps and bruises" are to be expected--good that they can still make a pretty display with something just placed in front to hide the little imperfections while the beauty can still be enjoyed. The whole thing just looks beautiful on that pretty wall. Luvs

Jay...I agree...what a beautiful treasure that Hutch is, and an Heirloom to keep passing on in the family. I love the story on how your father saved the boards until he had just the right ones to build it. How touching.
I agree with Lee...dishes that don't match and have 'bumps
and brusies...mean they are 'The Best Loved Dishes'...
I'm coming over to Shop!! lol

I remember now you telling about that Teapot Lamp on top of your hutch... I remember how I loved it and still do!!
I'll be looking forward to seeing more pictures..this one was just a 'Teaser'!!

jane

Jay, your hutch and dish display inside looks great! I like how you have the lamps too and the lighting in the pic puts a nice glow on everything.

DD

Ditto me on what the others said about your Daddy building that hutch. The story of it just was incredible. Such a treasure to have in your home, and to pass on some day. Its priceless!

I agree too about your 'well loved' dishes.
hugs, Karen

I want the platter on the top. Oh, AND the hutch...when are you leaving town again? *battin' eyelashes*

Okay you guys - you should see the REST of her house!!! Treasures to be found in EVERY nook and cranny! And! She has a few other pieces of furniture that are drool-worthy courtesy of my Grandfather! And the dishes? That is just the beginning...HA! Bumps and bruises are the best though! ;-)

Jaybird's house is the best shoppin' spot I've ever discovered...

hee-hee

Jaybird's Daughter!

Welcome, Jaybird's chick!

The platter is very pretty, and I would take the lamp with it.

Lee

Good to see you on here, Jaybird's Daughter. I'm already excited to see the Christmas tour that you have planned for your blog. Guess you know you have a very special mamma--we all love her too! ;o) Luvs
