Got my new dining room cabinet today!

last modified: 6 years ago

You may recall my post a few months ago lamenting whether I should buy such a thing at this stage of my life. With your encouragement I decided to go for it. Someone asked me to post a photo when I got it fully loaded with my stuff which I did right away - unpacking a couple boxes finally after moving here 3.5 years ago. I really like the cabinet and am looking forward to more time post retirement to have dinner parties and use my china and crystal again. Haven't used it since we quit hosting holidays after parents passed and others drifted off with their own immediate families.

    I like it a lot. I love having storage space. Looks like the cat is ready to move in.

    It’s always up to the cat.

    BTW, love the new piece.

    That's really a nice piece of furniture and great size. Meets kitty approval, too.

    So glad it is working and you are planning to have dinner parties again! So much fun. Just don't leave the doors ajar-kitty will curl up in the bowl on the bottom shelf! ;-)

    I think the kitty wants to try out that new to her bowl.

    Very pretty cabinet!

    Thank you all. I took the pic when the cats were lining up for dinner time. We have the great room thing so our very open dining space is next to the kitchen and the cat dishes are next to my new cabinet. I have them on a boot tray to protect the floor and decided I needed to upgrade my tray now that I have such a fancy cabinet. One thing always leads to another.....

    Speaking of cats, my little nuisance cat used to sit on top of the old cabinet this one replaced. It was quite a bit shorter than this one. I'm so afraid she's going to try to jump up on this one and scratch the side of it when she realizes it's not the same height. So far she's stayed away from it - it has a very slight new furniture smell so maybe that is deterring her or she just thinks it looks big and ominous. In any case I hope she stays down by her dish and doesn't try to get on top of this thing.

    Looks like she's more interested in what's IN the cabinet or in her reflection!!!

    Oh! Very nice! I love the color of the wood and the traditional design of it. Gorgeous!

    The troublemaker cat is still steering clear of it. I'm cautiously optimistic she realizes it's just too tall for her to jump on top of. The black cat in the picture is not the troublemaker. She's 19 and too old to even think of jumping on this. In fact we have a little foam ottoman for her to use just to get on the bed.
