I designed this for our kitchen - a deep open nook to put special items in and with an internal light. Particularly like the way the little teapot cottage and my china coddling pots were lit up.
Really good on the black!
Three good things;
1. Book club again - some interesting thoughts
2. Power went off today for several hours and we couldn't raise the garage door to get the car out! Eventually managed with the override.
3. No power over lunch - put a pot of soup on the motorhome gas hob to heat!
Nifty little nook

I did that with some built-in book shelves in the living room. I added under-the-shelf lighting and display my Swarovski crystal. Only way I wish I could improve it even more is to have glass doors to keep the dust out. As it is, I have to periodically clean the fragile glass.

Lovely, great idea.

Looks beautiful, the lighting is so lovely. I would delight in looking at my special pieces in this lovely nook.

@golftragic I saw it in a magazine and incorporated it into the design of our kitchen.

@allie912 Probably worth it - the cleaning! Wouldn't look so gorgeous behind glass doors!

I want one of these!

This looks so nice. I love the light, it highlights everything.

clever creation that really highlights your collections and it fairly pop off the black background
Resourceful cooking without power

@grammyn I now might remember to do some eggs in the coddling pots!

A great idea to display the favorites

I love your teapot! And the display looks beautiful on black! A lovely collection of special items.

What a good idea. So much. Iced than having things tucked away in a cupboard where you can’t see them

@maggiemae Great thinking.

Beautiful nook for your treasures, love the elephant in the corner.

@suesmith That's exactly the way I thought Sue! I do have to wave the kitchen sponge around now and then, but not often!

Neat capture of your excellent idea for a display nook

Such a lovely creation Maggie - so wonderful to have all these little Kitchen pieces lit up - Love your cottage and of course all the coddling pots - I have inherited one - but never use it !
May 3rd, 2019  
What a great idea for your small treasures
May 3rd, 2019  
Your special treasures look wonderful in this lovely setting. Lights are so very important in the house & your idea really enhances these beautiful coddling pots to perfection.

Lovely idea to display your favourite items.
May 3rd, 2019  
Lovely idea! Great display.

@beryl You just have to try it Beryl! It makes the eggs so beautifully creamy and the flavours of whatever else you put in it -bacon, mushroom, tomato, cheese, are so vibrant!

@happypat quite right, Pat! When renovating your next house -consider where the lighting will be!
