My mom is one of those people that sees dishes, and vases and knick knacks she likes, and buys them. Doesn't matter if she has a place to display them or put them. If she sees something she likes, consider it sold. Our attic, spare room and garage have all turned into storage areas for all of her themed dishware, holiday items, knick knacks and expensive vases. I said to her recently, after almost falling out of the attic when tripping over a huge pile of dishes (never been used mind you), "Why don't you just get a large curio cabinet to display some of this nice dishware? Its not doing us any good in piles everywhere!" Her response was "Those curio cabinets are always sooo expensive. And besides, I'd need at least 4 or five curio cabinets to display all of the dishes and things I have." I thought to myself, time to do a little research. I knew there had to be a company out there that made affordable curio cabinets.
After a little web surfing, I came across this company called
DisplayCases.us.com. They had a really nice line of curio cabinets. They even sold Howard Miller curio cabinets, which are really expensive. But I did stumble across curio cabinets from another company on the site, by Morrison-Hewitt. I'd never heard of them before, but the prices on the website seemed really affordable and the craftsmanship seemed equal or even better to that of the Howard Miller curio cabinets. Without even telling my mom, I went ahead and purchased one of the curio cabinets, a fairly large one about 45"w which I thought would be able to display a good portion of my mom's stuff. I had it delivered on a day I knew she wouldn't be home, and set up a bunch of her favorite dishes and vases. When she came home, she was so surprised. She exclaimed, "Oh my goodness. This is just too much! This must have cost you a fortune. I'm going to have to up your rent if you have this much money to spare!" When I told her it didn't cost nearly what she probably thought it did, she still insisted on charging more rent. And here I was thinking I was doing a good thing...
