White Dishes ~ Inspirations

I have been scouring flea markets and thrift stores,

keeping an eye out at Ross, Target and Home Goods

all in search of something 

so plain and simple but so beautiful.

Darling, dainty, charming

white dishes.

 I have had white dinner dishes for years that we use everyday. 

When a few pieces break, I just go pick up another inexpensive box of them~
 so easy to mix and match.

I love collections of white ware with various sized pitchers, bowls, plates and platters 

grouped together on a shelf or displayed in a hutch~so a few of those have been in my collection

as well.

I do have a white cake pedestal... a couple of serving bowls and platters...

but I think a couple more would be fantastic.

*sigh* 

The obsession continues.

I am not alone in obsession and love of white ware...

I love these inspiration photos~ most 

of which I found on Pinterest.

 With the green pears... delicious!

 Really loving the yellow cupboards with the white here~ so charming.

 Of course, white with dark stained wood

or with antique painted furniture

or in a glossy black cupboard... 

 delightful.

Absolutely love pitchers and tureens.

 Probably a favorite look is white dishes against a white or light background.

I just adore the simplicity of the combination.

Though Red Transferware is one of my favorite patterns to decorate with, 

I have switched the red transfer ware plates and platters for whites for the Summer

in the breakfast nook.

As well, the open shelves have gotten a more serene look for Summer recently

with stacks of white plates, dainty white coffee cups and serving bowls.

Atop that chippy cupboard are several white pitchers as well.
