Practically everyone I talk to has some ‘special’ dishes. Some fine china, heirloom pieces or just some that are fantastically beautiful. For me, I have ‘fancy’ ones that I use for my blogging…you see them here often with my recipes, and even with crafts on occasion! Now I can show them off with this DIY Dish Display Cabinet!

Until now, I’ve been storing them all crowded in a shelf up in my craft room. It’s frustrating trying to go through them to decide which I want to use when they’re stacked all sloppily! So I made a couple of these awesome cabinets (with major help from Hubby) and now I can see everything perfectly…plus they’re less likely to bump each other and chip. Woot woot!

This only took us a few hours (plus drying time), and was friendly to our budget. You can switch up the sizes/shapes as you want, so I’m not including measurements – just the overall ‘how to’.

Table of Contents

Supplies

Thin wood plank for backing
4 Wood boards for sides (together should frame your back piece)
Boards for shelves
Dowels/posts for railings
Nail/staple gun
Sand paper, if needed
Measuring tape
Hot glue/gun or wood glue
Paint of choice (I used spray paint)

Directions

Make sure your 4 outside boards are cut to the appropriate sizes, then use a nail/staple gun to secure the corners together.
If there’s some rough edges, use sand paper to smooth them out.
Secure the backing with your nail/staple gun.
Measure the height you want your shelves, then cut them to size and nail/staple them securely into place.
Using your hot glue gun (or wood glue), secure your dowels where you want them.
Paint as desired.

That’s it! It didn’t take long at all (other than having to run back to the store because I bought the wrong size of nails…ugh!) and now all my dishes have their place!
