It's time for Shelia's Favorite Cupboard party. Yippee! You wouldn't want to miss that so be sure you visit her. I have her link at the bottom of this post.
I am not sure if we were only allowed to post one favorite but I have 4 that I really like so I hope Shelia does not kick me out for showing all 4. We have 7 all in all not counting built ins but these 4 are my very favorites.
The one below is # 1 on my list because it holds a lot of my dishes and it keeps them organized. I told John that if I could only find one more just like it, I would put them side by side in the dining room wall and then I will be all set to organize all my dishes that are still stored in the garage, some still in their original boxes. So if any of you finds one just like it, please let me know.
I admit, I am a true dishaholic and the dishes that you will see here are probably only half of what I have!
It is French Provincial in style with 15 doors and look at this pretty detail. Every cubby hole is filled with dinnerware.
It will be a lot of work to take out the dishes to show you the patterns so I will just list them here. In the compartments below starting from the top left are:
It will be a lot of work to take out the dishes to show you the patterns so I will just list them here. In the compartments below starting from the top left are:Homer Laughlin "Cavalier" eggshell in blue
Spode "Shima"
American Atelier "Paradise"
Bavarian Tirschenreuth "Newport"
American Heritage Milennium Collection by Churchill
Miscellaneous whites
Bavarian Tirschenreuth "Rosedale"
Bavarian Tirschenreuth "Dogwood"
White Oval "Baroque"made in Portugal
More of the "Rosedale" and "Newport" that would not fit in their compartments above.
More miscellaneous whites
Princess House "Pavillion"
Royal Stafford with "Birds" and some blue and white Spanish plates
Tracy Porter "Artesia"
"Abigail"
My next favorite is the one I bought from Nancy of Nancy's Daily Dish, which is in the kitchen.
I have shown you this not too long ago but I have changed a few things on the shelves. 
I will just highlight the changes below.
I just added these yellow Spode Copeland "Buttercup", which I started collecting.
I also displayed sets of transferware here, red Johnson Brothers' "Old Britain Castles" and Myott's "Royal Mail" and inside the cabinets are Spode blue and white and Liberty Blue sets.
I added the white oyster plates and moved the Limoges oyster plates opposite them. 
I moved the silver plated coffee and tea set with bird finials from the dining room to here. Some Spode "Chelsea Bird" plates are also here.
Next is this smaller oak cabinet in the dining room. I really like the wood carving and its shape. 87 pieces of a vintage Washington colonial "Vogue" dinnerware set are stored here, Tirschenreuth "Newport" platters and serving bowls, Meissen napkin rings and some other miscellaneous pieces of different patterns. I also have a salt and pepper collection on the top shelf outside the cabinet, and a Quimper tea set. 
I promise this is the last one cupboard that I am showing you. It was the very first favorite one that we bought after we moved here. It came from an antique furniture store in Pennsylvania but I am sure it is a reproduction.
I have my antique Tirschenreuth dishes here, which are probably my favorite dishes. Also here is a settings of 12 platinum and gold rimmed Bavarian china in "Greek Key" pattern. I also have a set of 6 cream soup and saucer set in Tirschenreuth "Shannon" pattern.
In the bottom cabinet, I store my Johann Haviland china set "Brown Rose" and more Tirschenreuth "Newport" serving pieces and a set of Limoges "Chelsea Bird" patterned china made by Lantenier and company.

Hi Christine! OH, I knew I'd be thrilled by seeing your favorites! You can show as many cupboards as you want to! They are all just so wonderful. And look at all your dishes. You really could have plates for an army! ;) If I didn't love you so much, I'd be jealous!
Thanks so much for coming to my party. When I get the post up tomorrow night make sure you come and link up so others can join my in my jealousy! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelai ;)
Oh goodness! I love cupboards, cabinets, bookshelves and yours are great! I have said this before, but I would have such a hard, hard time deciding which dish set to use! Beautiful!
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for stopping by! I actually have another post up with more art giveaways...if you are interested :o)
Christine, Good Lord, when He said "let there be dishes," He showered you with a whole lot of them! You have quite a collection there, and those dishes are all sooo exquisite! How do you keep tabs with what you have? Do you keep an inventory? That is quite an undertaking girl. I hope you don't have to move again, imagine packing all those dishes, not counting the furnitures. I really wish we were within driving distance. Thanks so much for sharing. Wishing you well, Nenette West
Ok Christine, this looks like I envision the replacements warehouse to look like!! Incredible collections you have and the cupboards are wonderful too!!
I have never seen a cabinet like that first one. I love how it has all those compartments. I really should show this post to my husband, then maybe he would stop shaking his head at me when I come home with a few new plates or bowls! You really have so many patterns...you could set tables from now until forever!
No wonder you always WOW me with your tables! You have so many wonderful dishes. I love all of your cabinets, but my very favorite is the first one with all the compartments.
Oh my goodness! You REALLY DO have a lot of dishes! :)
Girl, if anyone ever neede a dish room it is you. I mean if Martha Stewart can have one, why not you!
That just wowed me and I know your first passion is family but I think dishes are a close second. You have some lovely patterns and storage is important. I couldn't do that because I don't even have dishwasher...lol....Take care.
Oh, sweetie! I'm green with envy...so many dishes!!! I thought I was bad, I have 15 sets of china!, but I think you are totally addicted, with NO CURE! Gorgeous all your favs, but mine is the French provencal, with all those wonderful cubby holes! Beautiful!
Thanks for dropping by honey, I love your home too... my style!

I don't know how you remember all the dishes that you have! I love all of your cabinets.
Christine you are truly the Queen of most beautiful dishes. I can never get over how many you have...however, I know you use every last one throughout the year. Just beautiful!
Oh my goodness. So many wonderful cabinets and china pieces. I would be in heaven at your home with all those. Have a nice day.
I was wondering what you would choose, since I had recently followed up on your email and looked at all your storage. Glad you couldn't pick just one! You do such a nice job of displaying. Cups are the hardest and yet yours look so cute. I think you win the prize of dish Queen!!!
LOL

I have to say that it'd take me a whole day or two just to look at and admire all your dishes and then another day to walk your property and look at all your beautiful flowers and landscape...i'd be in heaven :)
Hi Christine,
Wow. I've never seen so many beautiful sets of china! I loved this post, thanks so much for sharing your lovely home with us.
Kathy M.
Chrisine, I have never seen so much china in my life. I thought I had a lot, but you have me beat! Looks like your cabinets are sturdy enough to support it, too. I always worry about that, even in kitchen cabinets, but yours look very sturdy and pretty, too. I always love looking at your china!
XO,
Sheila :-)
You know how much I love your cabinets { and your gorgeous home}, but I think the first one is my favorite...all those compartments! It's fun to see your collection all at once, you have SO many beautiful pieces. This is a fun party, isn't it?
Hope you are having a wonderful week, Christine!
XO,
Janie
I just went NUTS with you pictures! Oh my! What a tresure!!!! I just want to dive into the cabinets and stay there for a looooooooooooong time...

Oh I love dishes too, but I do not have anywhere near the numbers you have. All of your cabinets are beautiful, and your dishes are pure eye candy!
You always set such gorgeous tables, I am sure having all this to choose from helps quite a bit.
Thank you so much for letting us see some of your china treasures.
Hugs,
Terri

"Oh My Goodness" I am SO JEALOUS! Ahhhhh, your post is like "Dishaholic Heaven"!!! I LOVE that first cabinet too, I will keep a "Scout's Eye" out for a twin for you!!! It sure holds a kings ransom of dishes.
I "LOVE" your green wallpaper! It's GORGEOUS!
Thank you for sharing,
Hugs,
Donna
I love all of them, and the contents too! I couldn't pick a fave! So nice you can see all your dishes, mine are down the basement on shelves!
Yes, indeed....you, too, are a dishaholic! Not that there's anything wrong with it! :-) It's what makes my world go round! Beautiful china cabinets and beautiful pieces in them! I love the silver coffee/tea set with the bird finials. I see we have similar taste in books, too. Joe Nye rocks!!! Cool! It is wonderful to have so many of your "toys" right there on display and easily accessed. I have literally run out of space and will have to learn to curb my enthusiasm! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Thanks for letting me know about this post. I am a subscriber to your blog, so I don't know why it didn't come through to me. Hmmmmmm...I'll need to check that out. See you soon!
I would love to go shopping in your cupboards! What an amazing collection of dishes you have and the cabinets are beautiful. Thanks in advance for joining my Open House party. See ya there!
