Do you use your china cabinet in the traditional way? Do you use if for storage or for display? I love these cabinets, but am not one for displaying my dishes ,so I was wondering what else, a bit out of the box, could be done with it?

i have one in my kitchen/dining area...in my old home which was larger i used for china

Now, since its seen so close up and seen everyday, i repurposed it to display art my kids have made, silk greenery , library books that have cool covers and little vinettes according to how we feelor season. Everybody loves looking at whats in there.

The china, most of it i put in boxes in the garage im sure that i will get rid of most of it soon

I use my china cabinet as a library. I think the idea of putting my children art works there is great. I think I'll adopt it as soon as I find a place for the books.
