Several years ago, I bought an entire set of warm, blue, green,
red and yellow dishes for my daughter.
She was in love with them.
Recently, however, she returned the whole set to me because they were "impractical" with children.
It's definitely true. Kids are rough on any kind of dishes, let alone hand painted ones!
Sooooo, I happily took the gift back.
Into a large vase and pitcher went silverware such as spatulas, scrapers, whisks, and so forth.
A gigantic round platter has brightened up the counter top near the sink.
A nice arrangement of yellow squash and bright, red tomatoes completes the scene.
See? No money spent to give the decor an uplift with old dishes that are eye-catching and lovely.
DO YOU REFRESH THINGS WITH ITEMS YOU ALREADY HAVE?
