KITCHEN CART~ WINTER IN THE KITCHEN

Thursday, January 23, 2014 Labels: KItchen, White Dishes

Every season has it's own culinary personality in my StoneGable kitchen. And I love each one.

Winter is warm and infused with roasting scents and onions and clementines and lots of hot chocolate and coffee!! I like to wipe the counter tops and surfaces clean and bare and let the kitchen breathe!

This year I added a kitchen cart to the end of the island and stocked it with some of my favorite white things...

SPRING IN THE CUPBOARD

Saturday, March 30, 2013 Labels: Decorating with Dishes, Spring Decorating Ideas, White Dishes

Do you have a place in your home that you love to decorate seasonally? I sure do...

It's a little built-in cupboard in my dining room. It's quite tall and thin and has curvy shelves, but it can hold some of the most festive seasonal vignettes.

Here it is decked out for Spring...

I took these pictures early in the morning when the sun was playing with the crystals on my chandelier... together they made some pretty rainbows splashes across the cupboard...

Each shelf holds pretty white plates and spring flowers planted in dishware. Don't you just love tete a tete daffodils? So happy and cute!

Alyssum flowers are potted in my cabbage tea cups. All the plants will be potted outside eventually!

Nests and eggs play an important role too...

Happy Easter... Happy Spring!

HARVEST BUFFET

Tuesday, October 2, 2012 Labels: fall, Fall Tablescape, Tablescape, White Dishes

Setting a buffet is an easy way to entertain... especially when you are trying to create an informal or cozy atmosphere.

I often use my kitchen table as a buffet when I want to create a relaxed meal or I am feeding a crowd.

Buffets and fall entertaining are a perfect fit! The food is so flavorful and earthy and... there are so many fabulous natural elements to embellish the buffet!

Here is a small buffet I set for a recent early Autumn supper...

Golden morning light was streaming through the windows as I got the buffet ready!

My barn beam table was a nice hand hewn background for the buffet! A simple burlap runner was added for a little extra textural interest.

For the table, I used lots of white with accents of honey gold... and a big splash of burnt orange from Pycracantha berries.

A big round basket pulls together a centerpiece vignette.

Beautifully worn vintage flatware handles peek from an ironstone pitcher... even flatware can be used in a centerpiece!

A rotund creamy white pitcher hold Pycrantha berries from our espalier. Pycrantha does not give up it's berries easily...it is very thorny and hard to cut, but so worth the effort!

I am a huge fan of white dishes... especially large white plates! These are just the most stunning square embossed dinner plates. I got them at HomeGoods on sale for $3.00 a piece. I sure do love a bargain!

Just to look pretty I put golden brown leaf plates from Pottery Barn on top of the white dinner plates... and then added a baby boo pumpkin cradled in a brambly candle ring.
