Favorite Things: Serving Pedestals

I admit, I love silver and I love dishes on pedestals. I was first introduced to the beauty of pedestals at a homey hole-in-the-wall pizzeria, where the pizza was served on pedestals so that even six diners could gather around the restarant's diminuitive tables to eat. I actually own one restaurant pedestal, bought from a diner going-out-of business. I happened upon the other two in separate thrift stores: they cost about $8.00 each. Right now I don't use them very often, but they always stay on my counter. Alas, the glass cake stand I blogged about has met its demise, but its top remains with us, at least as of this blogging, as you can see from the photo above.

Is that your kitchen in the picture? I would love to see a bigger picture of it. It looks beautiful as well as the stands.

I will have to, some time. I'm self-conscious about my kitchen: the countertops and cabinets are really terrible and crooked. I keep hoping to win the lottery and be able to replace them! But I'll try to post if I can find a fragment of beauty about them...

I love pictures of your kitchen, Regina! It looks so warm and homey. We have open shelves in our kitchen too, and I have grown to love them. Never whacking my head on an open cabinet door while putting away dishes...priceless. :o)
