The Cabinet Anchor

Skye Kirby ~ Elle Decor

There is something quite lovely about having memories surround you. There is also something quite grounding about a large cabinet anchoring a space. This is why I love display cabinets. They can be the anchor of any room. Not always the focal point, but in a grand supporting role. You don't always need to see inside to know they hold something important.

Here's my living room ~

In the left side of the cabinet, a portion of my mother's crystal collection, the right side, a wine bar, in the middle, glass art that I adore, and on top, three diamond cut vases symbolizing my family (my husband, daughter, and myself). Surrounded, grounded, anchored. I love this room ~
