More White Dishes

Thursday:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

Part 2:  More White Dishes

I love white dishes - especially old antique dinnerware and serveware. 

 I don't want to pay for such treasures so I cheat and make my own.

The local thrift store always has stoneware goods for good deals.

These cute pitchers were .50 to $2.00 a piece.

More good stuff.

The make-over assembly line.

A coat of primer and white spray paint does the job well.

Oh, they are lovely!

More lovelies.

This is above the kids' lockers in our lanudry/mud room.  

I make do with what I have.

I love it!

Oh, these canisters have seen better days.

Time for a change...

Beautiful!

Above the lockers on the other side of the mud room.

Kitchen cabinet turned into a dinnerware hutch.

FYI:

Not all my dinnerware is spray painted.  

It is not a good idea to actually use spray painted dinnerware due to paint toxins.  

It's just for pretty looks - and ain't it pretty?

Tiered Jewelry Holder

My daughter's favorite gift from her mama.

I found the plates and candle stick at the thrift store and glued them together with Gorilla Epoxy glue.

Easy peasy!

Check out my tiered fruit/cupcake holder here.

Tier Plate Stand

My hubby saw me making this tier plate holder and thought I was nuts.  One day he called me from his lunch break where he happened to walk past a boutique and informed that there were other nutty ladies just like me.  Yeah!  He was looking at a dozen tier plate holders on display for $25 to $30 each.  I told him mine only cost $4 - ha ha!  He then suggested I make tier plate holders for our mothers - I already did.

I love to place my fruit on it.

It took three to four days to complete the process - you have to glue each piece separately and weigh it down with books.

I used Gorilla epoxy glue - it really is incredibly strong.

                                          

Finished version.

I found the plates and tea cups at the thrift store.

Fruit holder - cupcake holder - fudge holder - anything holder.

It's perfect for everyday!

I found the idea here.

White Dishes

I love browsing through magazines and via clipping ensembles of white dishes.  They are fabulous to view, fabulous to collect and fabulous to use.  I just don't have room for these fabulous dish cabinets.  So I made do....

I love the antique dishes!

This photo makes me drool!

I *heart* *heart* the pitchers.

I decided to make my own.  

I went thrifting and found these two pitchers for $1.50 a piece 

and the center pedestal bowl for $1 - score!

I gave them a couple coats of Rust-oleum Satin Heirloom white spray paint.

Oh, they are LOVELY!

I took the doors off one set of cabinets to display my dishes.

I made my own white dish ensemble above the mud room lockers.

All dishes are finds at the local thrift store.

The pedestal bowl is in the center.  

The three large bowls on the left are 1962 Hall dinnerware - an awesome find for $1 a piece.

I love mismatched white dinnerware.

*drool - drool -swipe*

This is only the beginning!
