Organising my sideboard

Tackle It Tuesday Meme


Take a deep breath.

Can you smell that lovely "new wood" smell of our new sideboard? :)

I was so excited to finally get this that I skipped gym to organise it. Wasn't a hard sell, trust me. But I can't live with a mess and all my stuff was on the dining room table while this beauty got moved into her new home.

We chose a very dark wood to match our dining room table. I like simple, practical furniture - no fuss!


There are four drawers on top with four cupboards underneath each drawer.

Drawer 1 - serviettes, serviette rings and coasters.

Drawer 2 - table runners and spare oven mitts

Drawer 3 - "good" cutlery and serving spoons


Drawer 4 - placemats (these are the ones I use when I set a proper table). The other everyday ones are in the kitchen. (store things where you use them)



Left side of cupboard - more mugs and entertainment stuff at the bottom



Right side of cupboard - two crockery sets and tablecloths

I love your new sidebar--I really think dark wood is so pretty. I also learned a new word from you. Serviettes are called napkins here in the states--I had no idea they were called otherwise in South Africa. Thanks for sharing--the sideboard looks great, and very organized.

very pretty contrast with the vibrant colors and the dark wood. It must be lovely set.

Oooh, I'm tickled pink that you all love my sideboard as much as I do :)

We got it specially stained in that colour to match our dining room table (they were not bought in a set).
