What did you end up going with? The plans look mighty complex.

I have a cabinet already should fit there, so did think about that already...maybe I am just having a hard time picturing it. We are designing a 'contemporary' house, so I would say it is fairly modern with touches of older/more vintage pieces. I will take a picture of my cabinet tonight to see what you guys think. But I guess most photos/when I think of buffet cabinet I picture more traditional pieces. If anyone has a more modern take would be great!

Thanks Susanne_m, that is a really great idea, I am actually in the process of painting the frames so I am sure I could get one more, my Dad loved Norman Rockwell and bought them for me all that time ago they have been hung in our house since our children were 3 and 4, 40 years ago, great idea, will go searching now for frames!

Get p at 2:00am on Saturday morning, do a spatial layout for a farmhouse in Mt Barker (WA not SA), back to bed at 5:00am for a lie in until 6:30 and then take the dogs for 5km walk around our excellent local park. Home to vacuum and start washing, then off to watch our grand-daughter at soccer, followed by the shopping, a half hour kip and an hour making soup. More design work on the farm house and another 5km walk before feeding the dogs and then ourselves. Finally get to read the morning paper.
