You and me both! Anthropologie had some lovely white bowls in that I kept meaning to get until they went out of stock. Should have been quicker!
Hope you are well, Donna. xo
I have a serious addiction to old white bowls so I'm completely swooning over these photos! GREAT inspiration~! ;=) Stop by Little Blue Deer to enter my Scentsy give away, the drawing is tomorrow. http://www.littlebluedeer.com/2010/11/honeyed-hues-scentsy-giveaway.html
That dining room area is just beautiful in every way! I don't know how I didn't already know of your blog... it's lovely. I am now your newest follower! xo
A few years ago, I gave away my big heavy french cafe dishes ( white with a blue trim) and bought all white china. I use it every day, and then I started adding other pieces for interest, but always in white. It has not gotten boring yet !
I do love that first photo !
Me TOO! me TOO!
I love this look!
My favorite dishes right now come from Ballards...primvere in cream!
I own them and the serving pieces but think I need more!
This Chandy is gorgeous!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Donna
I am a sucker for organization. Really I am.

What a fantastic set of vintage bowls! It is pretty close to perfect and would love that in my collection as well. I recently picked up a set of vintage stacking glasses at a local antique shop that I am still swooning about. Great back splash as well! Thanks for sharing, enjoy your day!
Donna - that is what I always say - in with the old! These pictures are stunning and inspirational! oh those chairs... love.
Wow! That is one beautiful room! That chandelier isn't shabby either.
Have a great day.

We love, love, love your post today!! Out with the new, in with the old is right!

Perhaps we can go hunting together!? Let's go Donna -- on a treasure hunt! We would have a blast!
Love to you,
Mon
Go check out Fishs Eddy for white ware they have a 20% sale going on right now and their dishes are so durable. Love that second photo something about it just captivates me.
It all looks great..... Glass cabinets are a blessing and a curse.......Good luck with yours... Maryanne xo
love love love!!!

That's a combination that always works!
Yes! A full and lound YES on the vintage white and cream coloured dishes.. and just generally throwing out the new and welcoming the old!
Have been thinking of you lots this week. Sending big hugs and love.

i have a serious serious addiction to bols... and this photo is truly one of my very favorites... one day... i will show my hand... and then run and hide! xx
I can't get over how much I'm loving these...going to have to seriously stare for a while.
Thank you!

I have been collecting for years. Sort of obsessed.
Donna, I love this - I bought a bunch of bowls just like that at the Puces de Vanves last fall -- these images capture everything I love about white in the kitchen and I'm putting them in my "favorites" file. Thanks for sharing!
I am a big fan of white china, etc. It just makes the food look better!
i constantly flip flop between wanting the simple white vintage dishes, to wanting colorful pattern exotic dishes. I suppose the only solution is to have a set of each...
;)
OOOH, I love that dining room. The old silver dome just makes the vignette perfect. I have a set of 4 chairs that look just like those in my new online shop. Have you had a chance to stop by and take a peek?
how beautiful. My grandmother left me her cream dish set. I adore it and it blends in nicely with my current white sets.
I love all white and open shelving...I love to see it and it's so much easier to use and put away. Beautiful photos. And I LOVE your gray & gold post...i keep going back to it!
Get in line :)....is there enough to go around for all of us?
I'll take those chairs (with my favorite caning!) and table in the first pic, please! Have a great week, Donna.
Yes, you actually don't need to buy anything new...old white and off-white bowls and plates look great stacked up. I like the combination with the tarnished silver in the first image...
Donna I really really want the white pottery, the 1st image is also to die for!!
Come enter my giveaway from Empress of the Eye!

Me toooo! I LOVE white /cream dishes, bowls, platters ... and I really love them all stacked and grouped together ... can't ever have too many, right? Great photos.
Totally in love with both of these images!! The marble or limestone floor and full height cabinets in the first with the juxtaposition of the fabulous chandelier - just to die for.
Me toooo...now, if I could just manage to find a thrift shop or two down here, I'd be in bid-ness!
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!
I am just loving that vintage silver platter cover in the center of the table. Not only does it save time polishing silver, but it lends such a sophisticated yet casual air to the entire setting.
