Displaying White Dishes

Hello everyone!

In my last post, I mentioned that I made a change to another room.  Well, it was in my family room in my glass cabinet.  I used to have brown and white transferware displayed there.  But, I decided it was time for a change again. 



Once I started collecting more white dishes (mostly serving pieces), I wanted to group them together somewhere.  I have always used them in my kitchen, but they are mostly for everyday use. 


I love them against the grey color of the cabinet.  I placed my two favorite tureens in there along with some pitchers and bowls.


I like the clean look of there just being white in this cabinet for now.


This may seem unexpected in a family room, but I like it.  It has the collected cottage feel that I like with the simplicity of the Nordic style.

The best part about collecting white dishes is that they are plentiful, affordable and blend with any color scheme too.

Thanks for stopping by!
