Super nice light display and collection you have going @Darbotek. Which LED strip did you get? I’d like to do something similar in the back of my open shelves.Darbotek wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 5:51 pmGlass display case from Ikea. I would love an open shelf display, but my 5yo and cats slip in sometimes, so I wanted something with doors. I tint windows for a living, so I added some white matte film that I had lying around that looks like etched glass. Helps soften the reflection from the LED strip I put on the front of the cabinet.

Thank you!
These are the LEDs I bought, they have a few different options for layout. Strips with connectors, pucks, etc.

Thank you. The other motivating factor is that the socket is right behind the case, sitting there, harshing my mellow.
Thank you! When I look at my small collection, I feel like its too much. The only pot I really need is the Yamamoto Hiromi on the far right, it does everything. But there are still a few makers I want represented in the case. I’m also a bit of a Yamada So fan boy, so there will be more of his pieces there very soon.
Thank you!

My latest setup for all of my tea ware. It has a decent amount of empty space for future purchases, although I don’t see myself buying anything new for awhile. I use the top surface area for recently used pot which need to dry.

Looking good, @Darbotek & @Chadrinkincat!
Just moved to a new place a couple weeks ago, hopefully I'll be able to get a nicer teaware display myself this time around.

@Balthazar, @.m.
Thanks! I found this cabinet in Philly on 1stDibs for a measly $40. I’m glad I held out for a couple months instead of spending 10x on something new from Ikea.
