*Just a little note: Please read to the end of this post for an exclusive giveaway to one dear reader and a discount to all readers!
As I am putting the finishing details on my Farmhouse style kitchen and breakfast room, I turn to my great design love... decorating with dishes!
My newly renovated area has a neutral color scheme using texture for interest. Big antique shutters hang on either side of the bumped out eating area. They lend a big architectural punch but not a lot of warm detail.
I thought they needed something above them that was pretty and unexpected. A touch of refinement... a big transferware platter.
English Transferware is owned by my dear friend Nancy, from NANCY'S DAILY DISH. She has the most magnificent collection of gorgeous transferware pieces in every color and design.
Look at the two beauties I purchased from her on-line shop... Such gorgeous pastoral scenes. Both in mint condition!
Detail... swoon!
The platters add just the right touch of interest over my shutters!
Left side...
Right side...
I am THRILLED with how much grace they give the room!
Nancy is now hunting 3 brown transferware dessert plates to go over the back door! I can only imagine what beauty she will find for me!!!
