Since work will be starting in the living/dining room and we have a new dining room set on order… it was time to clean out the old china hutch and get rid of the old table and chairs.

.

.

Our contractor wanted the chairs, so out they went.

.

.

The table, which was so horribly faded I thought no one would want it…. went to the farm across the street. With a brand new tablecloth to cover the discoloration.

.

.

That left cleaning out the hutch which hadn’t been done in at least a decade.

.

.

Lord Dudley wanted to help…. but didn’t.

Aside from dozens of candles, placemats, dishes, cups, saucers, platters, chargers, crystal decanters, napkin rings, extra cutlery, knives, holiday tablecloths and a soup tureen …. I discovered the family silver.

.

.

Which all needed to be needed polished.

.

.

And of course…. because this my china hutch?

.

.

There was alcohol.

😉

.

.

So…

Does anyone want a china cabinet?

🥴
