I have been collecting cremeware for sometime now but I don't have as many pieces as I'd like to have. I wanted a real "statement piece" to go on my dining room table and I lucked up Monday in one of my favorite flea markets and found a wonderful soup tureen. It's huge! While it's not the "real deal" I fell in love with it and since it had been marked down quite a bit, I went ahead and got it. While out shopping, I found two 36" mahagony shelves at Ross for $10.99 each! I will use those on a big wall to display some of my cremeware. Well, now, since I have those shelves, I gotta have some "stuff" to put on them, right? Today I went around to some of those great places like Marshalls, T.J. Maxx and Ross (again) and loaded up. I don't have pictures of those yet cause I put them in my closet for later (I know some of ya'll do this too)!
All of the photos below are of the plates and other items I have just stacked on my sideboard for now....not necessarily "decorated" but just put out so I could see what I have.
I got these pretty little oval dishes at Old Time Pottery for a song...I love the edges. They are just placed on one of my cake plates
When I took the crystal candle holders and candles off the dining room table, I put the candles in this urn for the time being but I kinda like the way they look there
The plates on the bottom match one of my cake plates
Here's a view of the sideboard and cremeware
I would love to start painting the dining room by this weekend but it all depends on the "molding guy". Keep your fingers crossed he can get to my project soon.
I promise to post some pictures of our cruise to Mexico soon. We were so tired when we got home Saturday that we just crashed. Then Sunday I spent with my mom and then the grandkids and their parents came by for a little while. Pictures soon..............
Love all your creamware vignettes... I share your love for creamware... I'm passionate about them... come see! ;)

ReplyDeleteThe cremeware is beautiful! I also love the buffet lamps.
ReplyDeleteI love your "statement piece!" I've been looking for just the right tureen and haven't found it yet. I'll just keep looking until the right one pops up!
ReplyDeleteI saw Rhonda's dining room make-over too and fell in love. It looks so warm and inviting doesn't it!
Aw, thank you dear friend! You started with the lighter colors before I did, so pat yourself on the back. I think you will love the changes in your DR with molding & a lighter paint color. You've got such GREAT basic pieces in there, including that gorgeous mirror & lamps. Love all your creamware pieces & that tureen, WOW! Love it. Can't wait to see you get this going too. Glad mine is over!
ReplyDeleteI love those bowls...great shape especially contrasted with the limes!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the makeover, Judy!! I know it will be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt may not be "decorated" but I think everything all stacked up looks WONDERFUL!
ReplyDeleteLove all of your white dishes. And the slipcovers on your chairs! Isn't Old Time Pottery great? (and affordable!!)
ReplyDeleteI love the style of your vignette and I love your cremeware!
