Today I want to share with you a favorite piece of furniture, my carved china cabinet - it's not your usual china cabinet. I picked it up at an antique store, but I'm not sure it's antique.
I had grand fantasies about its life before it came to live with us (in Germany I was sure). I tried to research and the one person who gave me feedback said it's a reproduction - not really antique at all and quite probably not from Germany.
I prefer to keep my fantasies of it's magical history - it's way more fun.
I hope you like
the carvings
the cool adjustable shelving
the keys - one for each door
the glass display in the center
and the carvings, which are worth a second look
My blue ceiling
which has nothing to do with the china cabinet,
except that they are in the same room,
but I hope you like the blue ceiling
and if you do
you can read about the dining room Tuscan paint job here
and the drapes I made from tablecloths here
I hope you have a wonderful long holiday weekend surrounded by people you love! Because the most important things in life are not things.
Much Love & Laughter,
Laura

What a beautiful piece! No wonder you love it. And what difference does it make if it really is an antique? I guess it would matter if you were planning to sell it, as it would affect the selling price, but otherwise, it is not important.I am by no means an expert, but it does look German to me. The important thing is that you love it--I have some pieces that are not antique, just plain old, scarred, pure junk in the eyes of some, but they speak to me, and I am so happy to have them.
