Happy Monday!
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted a nice and big Welsh dresser in white for the kitchen. A huge unit to fit at the end of my kitchen to display my love of plates/cups/saucers and cake stands into. Something with lots of glass doors so not to have any dust settling on the shelves.
At the minute I do not too much storage for all my tableware that I love to collect. Things can easily get broken all crammed into the cupboards. I also forget I have things as they are all packed away at the back of the cupboards and never to be seen for years.
Over the last few years, I have been on the lookout for a nice vintage Welsh dresser for my kitchen. The trouble is brand new ones at a 9ft cost around £3,000. Second-hand ones this big are hard to find, and would I also be able to rub it down and repaint it into shabby chic style without ruining it myself!?
I did ruin my kitchen table last year trying this idea out, after all!!
So as I have been searching for ideas I found this LIATORP Storage Combination with glass doors on the IKEA website. I love it straight away and was trying to picture it in my kitchen.
Before I ordered one I spent a bit of time searching Pinterest and Instagram for ideas of how it would look in my kitchen.
As soon as I saw some of these ideas I knew I had to have one.

And the one that will fit my kitchen perfectly below:
How amazing will it look in the kitchen!?
It feels like it was made to measure as the measurements fit exactly but a few cm to the sides and height. [ Just hope I have measured it right! Ha!! ]
It arrives on Friday and I can not wait to get it up and fill it with all my stuff!!
Watch this space.
