It's What's On The Inside...

We sell a lot of vintage china at both Paris Flea Market and Room With A Past, so what we want to know is where is it all going?? When's the last time you went to or hosted a tea party?? We can only hope our customers are getting it all out and setting it up with the good silver & fancy linens when the holidays and family gatherings roll around (we'd love an invite, BTW)! But in the meantime, you're going to need someplace to store it all. Someplace that rivals the beauty of the items stored within. So...



if your choice of storage ain't "all that", flop down a drop cloth, and get it there with a can of CeCe Caldwell Paint! This medium tone wood cabinet has some great features like a glass front,  curved mullions and cabinets below, but putting some prettily patterned and delicate chinaware inside, and it gets lost like a bat in a cave! To you we say...


"Lighten Up!"

It's summer, by gosh and we don't want anything heavier looking than a sprig of baby's breath in our homes, right? One coat of Vintage White brushed on will do the trick, and don't forget the inside! Finish it off with a coat of Clear Wax and buff it 'till it shines like a new penny. What a difference:




Now it's ready for your heirloom china, precious chotchkies, or any of the 25 top odd things that people collect and display! Eeew!
