I Need Your Help (my messy dresser!!)

Not long to go now peeps!!! I am busy spring cleaning my rooms ready to bring down my trees!
Here are a few little decorations I made for my dining room tree, very simple, scrabble blocks, glue and ribbon!! My dining room tree is more vintagey and home madey!
I had a lovely surprise this morning.....when I made my breakfast tray up!


I grabbed my new tea cup off of the dresser, along with the first tea pot I came too...walked into the kitchen, put them down on the side as I flicked the kettle on...and then let out a huge squeal!!!!!!!!!!
They matched.......perfectly!!!!! Even though they they are made by completely different makers!....my husband wasn't half as impressed as I was!!!

Anyways peeps...here's where your help comes in...I have a pine dresser where I keep some of my collection of china,Its all shoved on there rather haphazardly..... and needs a good organise!
I have added some cup hooks this week....I need many more as I have bags of cups to put on there still...... I think I will have a few empty ones left over by the time I have put cup hooks on both shelves.... (a great excuse to buy more!!! yesssss!)
I plan to paint her in the New Year but am stuck as to what colour to paint her.......
Cream? pink? duck egg blue?....I have a thing for matt black painted furniture at the moment too but think this may be a bit heavy for my dining room which is cream and pink...but then again I could decorate!!!!!

What do you all think????

  1. Cream is a great colour and would set off china well, but i am a sucker for duck egg blue. The palest of shades would set off all the china perfectly! Happy colour choosing!

  2. I would have squealed too. And my husband would have done the same :) I swing between the lovely pure look of white and the cosiness of duck egg blue.

    But my dresser is always messy. I use all the crockery in it and it ends up getting put away very haphazardly.

    And what about knobs? I love the big chunky white ones but also lean towards the glass ones as well. Oh too many choices.

    Good Luck,

    I agree with coco rose,a cream colour would be lovely to set off your pretty china.I intend to paint mine in the New Year too....mind you I've been saying that for a few years now!!
