China Hutch? ... Check!

So, my new house has a beautiful, newly remodeled kitchen that I absolutely love! BUT, it has a china hutch that is a very central feature of the kitchen. Now, I have nothing against china hutches... I just have (or had, until recently) NOTHING to put in it, so it made my kitchen look boring and bare.

Well, lucky me, one of the Pier 1 Imports in Mesa was going out of business and EVERYTHING in the store was 50% off the lowest price. I went browsing to see if I could find a steal of a deal on furniture that would work in my house... instead I found this nice set of Italian, hand-painted dishes. Thanks to this going out of business sale, I can now check "furnish the china hutch" off my decoration check list!





These dishes were already on clearance for 50% off. Then take an additional 50% off means that I got a sweet steal of a deal on dishes, instead of furniture. According to my rough calculations, this serving set for 8 should have cost me over $450. I got them for..... (drum roll, please)........

Less than $150!!!!!!

Thank your Pier 1 Imports on Alma School and Southern for going out of business! Or should I say, thank you Alma School and Southern for turning into a ghetto neighborhood where no one wants to shop anymore?

Too true about Alma School and Southern. Can you believe the girls used to live right there? I can't even think about it. Anyways, the dishes are very cute in your hutch. Nice work.
