My mom’s friends always admired her kitchen cabinet. Whenever she got them visit our house for a tea or just to read and discuss their favorite books, her cabinet would always become a topic. They loved how it was situated in the kitchen, changing the entire feel of the room. Tea time has always been interesting whenever she opens it and hands out her small plates for cookies and tea cups. I love looking at her friend’s amazement when she lays out her silverware and shows off her dainty collection of porcelain and other china wares. They would always mutter, where did she bought this?

My mom bought this from the kitchen cabinets St. Petersburg Company, just when our house was being built. It was one of the first furniture in our home and was considered a valuable piece for its contribution in adding a touch of style in our kitchen.

It’s one of her kitchen design ideas that remained a secret until today.
