Dreamy White Diningroom


Simplify and beautify with whites.  This buffet table usually looks like a flea market table in my diningroom, but I took everything off and only put back on the silver tea set and a tureen. I like it so much better as it looks dansk/norsk and so calming because it's uncluttered. I am trying to simplify. I have a burlap tablecloth on for now. The texture adds some rustic texture. The vintage silver tea set makes it my Downton Abby corner.

About this time an idea came to change it around every week and photograph this wall. What do you think? Am I crazy? It would be a good design challenge. Shabby chic whites!

Limoge French Handpainted Tea Cup









I may not live at Versailles or any great castle, but my home is sweet. Sweet because of who lives here and the little things that brighten our routine. This limoge french tea cup and saucer have a shimmer like a pearl or an abalone shell. It is a handpainted set and I wonder about the painter. Did they have a lovely garden? A big family? Love? I guess I wonder about these things because that is what I have and that is what makes my home sweet.
