What To Do With A Cabinet Color?

I like yellow, but not in our house any longer. My little china cabinet is yellow and I'm thinking of changing the color. I have five colors in mind so far.

My little cabinet is kind of like these two cabinets below, but I think they're prettier. First there's a blue one, but the blue is maybe too colorful for me. I feel like Goldilocks right now!

Second is a white one, but let's face it...I've already painted most of the stuff in the house bright white like this cabinet.

Right now, black and white together look real good to me. These photos are from the blog Looks Like White.

I'm also smitten with a barely there color and lots of distressing, like this pale green cabinet I saw at Three French Hen's shop in Wildwood Missouri a while back.

Maybe something a little off white? Just to take the yellowish edge off? Love this one...

and, also this one from Laurieanna's shop down in Canton Texas.

So you see, I'm open to anything but yellow. Although, come to think of it, Miss Mustard Seed has some pretty yellows in her paint line, but then I'm right back where I started. Have you any ideas for me?

Another Stop At 3 French Hens

On the trip to see our middle daughter's family, we planned to have lunch in Wildwood Missouri. This is my favorite lunch stop because the Three French Hens shop is located in Wildwood.

 I love the barely-there green color on the cabinet above, and I think the distressing is perfect. I couldn't take my eyes off it. If we had been headed toward home instead of away, I might have strapped it in the back of the pickup even though it was way out of my price range.

Though the Three French Hens store is located in a rural area about 20 miles west of St Louis, the place is huge. Because of time constraints, (Wild Bill was outside timing my 30-minute stop to the nano second) I really had to fly through the store to see everything and buy a little something.

 I like the black and white checked Mackenzie-Childs decor, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I took a few pictures to post for my fellow bloggers, like BJ at Sweet Nothings blog, who do love their stuff. Three French Hens has a lot (like two or three rooms full) of all things Mackenzie-Childs. 

The middle of the store is my favorite area. That's where this great old rock fireplace is and it's always decorated beautifully. This year, they moved their huge moose head above the mantle and decorated it for Fall. Love, love, love it!

Several sections of the store are decorated for Halloween. At the front door, you're greeted with beautiful trees wearing Halloween decorations in every color from bright apple green to deep purple. Here's one of the trees from a couple of angles...

I was really taken with the cloches full of Fall decor. I decided I had to try to duplicate one of these that I found especially pretty... 

 Just as I was trying to find something similar in their floral section, the owner stopped by and asked if I needed help. She walked back with me to the section where the cloches were and generously opened the cloche and took the pieces out that I admired. Since we couldn't find the exact one I was smitten with, she told me to take the one out of the cloche and she would have the florist rebuild it. This is one of the things I love about their customer service...the owner and her staff always make you feel nothing is more important than their customers!

I was fast running out of time that day, but still wanted to buy some of their cute Fall/Halloween ribbons. I regret I didn't take pictures in the floral department as their wreaths and door hangings (made with baskets instead of wreaths) were really pretty. If you look to the left in the picture below, you can see part of the floral section and some of the door hangings...

In addition to the two floral "leaf" rings, I bought a variety of ribbon yardage while at Three French Hens.  My plan is to make a duplicate of their Fall cloches and to make a hanging door basket. I already have a large cloche and one of their flat hanging baskets that I bought last time I was there.
