Details

The kitchen cabinet with sliding glass doors and twelve labeled drawers.
Napkins inside one of the drawers.




The drawers of this cabinet in my kitchen are all labeled "Napkins", "Flatwear",  "Placemats" or "Et Cetera".  The four "Et cetera" drawers hold platters, bowls, and serving pieces. I asked an artist with pretty handwriting to make the labels, and then I laminated them. The labels are really useful, and I like the way they look. The four top "Flatwear" drawers are lined with silver cloth from Guardian to prevent tarnish. The cabinet-maker supplied the liners, but you can just google "pacific silver cloth".  There are numerous sites that sell custom sizes of inserts or just the fabric, which comes in many colors.
