Dinnerware

I have a new love affair with dinnerware. I realized that your home decor doesn't have to start and end with furniture or new paint; you can change your dinnerware to match your mood of the season. I didn't want to be one of those people that had beautiful china that never got used. I have been on the hunt for dinnerware that can be used for various occasions and with different kings of table linens to achieve different looks. I saw a dinner set on television one day and it was a white china set that had an intricate red  design on the outer rim. I went to T.J Maxx on a whim and they had a display that contained "my dishes." This set can easily be used for a Christmas or Valentine's day dinner. I matched it up with all red salad plates an bowls.



The other set that I found is a very traditional set that could be used for any occasion because it has texture and great detail.

I will be putting together a tablescape for upcoming holidays and everyday use.
Have fun with your space by making it your place to escape to!
