Where Do You Keep It All?

I love my gray dining room walls. When I chose this color, my goal was to highlight my collection of yellow Harlequin dinnerware. Then Homer Laughlin came out with scarlet Fiesta, and red started creeping into the colorscheme. Woa. As nice as red and gray can be together, that's not what I wanted. My Spring re-org brought the yellow back front and center!



















There's still plenty of room for other colors, too.



And a new curtain as well.








A mini-collection of Hall~



Scarlet can rule in the kitchen!





I'm sharing this peek at where I keep it all for the second anniversary party at The Tablescaper. Happy Anniversary, Tablescaper!

    I really like the plate and mug stands by the window and shelf that has the Hall collection. The gray walls do make the dishes pop. Love it.

    Your collection of yellow Fiesta is stunning! I know you must smile each and every time you enter your dining room and see those sunny dishes.

    I love your banner and the kitties!

    The gray and yellow with the white is beautiful, and I love your window treatment/vintage tablecloth idea. I took my kitchen sink curtains down to the cleaners and somehow misplaced them. I've had a linen tablecloth thrown over the rod ever since. Actually worked pretty darn well. Cherry Kay

    Hi Daphne,

    Your Fiestaware is so cheerful and colorful! My Mom collected that for a while. I really love your vintage tablecloth and curtains, and the Hoosier cabinet is charming!! Thanks for sharing.
