We picked up this china cabinet on Craigslist. It was being sold for $75 but since we weren't sure about it, they let us have it for $50 just so they wouldn't have to move it. We hoped it would go in the dining room, but it didn't really fit, plus it leaned (the floors are more uneven in the DR) to the front, and it didn't match! Big disappointment. But then we moved it into the kitchen, and voila!--it looks as if it were built to match our cabinets. We're using it for our everyday dishes now, and using the available cabinet space for food. This kitchen is a lot smaller than the condo's, so every little bit helps.
The china cabinet is made out of teak and appears to be from Japan (sticker on the back). Brandon claims it smells like a certain fragrant illegal substance and patchouli. We sprayed it with odor remover and Lysol and it's better now. (No offense, ladies, if you happen to come across the blog! The china cabinet is great! But it did have fragrance about it...) Gecko has shown quite a bit of interest in it, even so...
