Well- I attempted to have just white dishes on my plate rack for a different look, but after a few days it was just to bland for me.
I also wanted to get away from the Americana look I had started because I was veering off track from my Tuscan and French deco.
I fussed around a bit and used a mix of
items to create a new look.
I have to admit I love a country cupboard look and even though this is a narrow plate rack is I think I achieved what I was goaling for.
This plate rack would be cute with doors that have chicken wire on them.
Sunflower pitcher by Maxcera, Pottery Barn Moo Cow creamer, Milkhouse Creamery Candle
Bordallo Pinheiro Rooster Pitcher
Devon Cottage pattern by Johnson Bros.
I loaded up my big cobalt blue vase with wheat and I stuck pine cones in my antique salt glazed bowl.
I snatched a picture off another wall to see what a portrait style frame would look like next to the plate rack and I like it.
I have this print of a rooster that I'm thinking of framing to go where the sunflower picture is so I can put that back where it was.
Now I want to paint the walls a different color! I'll wait a little while longer to bring that up with the hubs!

I really love the plate rack and the rooster!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo by your plate rack. The sunfloer pic is so pretty! The photo of the whole room is really lovely and inviting!!
ReplyDelete(Rooster pic will go real well in there!)

Love the new look especially with the rooster ! Lisa@ Sweet Tea N' Salty Air
ReplyDeleteNice new look! Your chairs are quite lovely with the pattern and fabric. Great choice for the sunflower.
ReplyDeleteI just re-did Bab's header and fixed her RSS feed problem....
I know what you mean about getting off track. I do that a LOT! I really like your blue and white and your fun chicken and sunflower pitchers. Looking forward to seeing your new rooster print framed.
ReplyDeletelove the new display, and the creamery candle is just really cute
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wild how one little ol' project can just blow up into 100 projects? Painting is such a huge project, especially in a room with lots of windows, doors and appliances in it. I pity your poor hubby when THAT project gets underway!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAll your fussing with the plate rack paid off. It looks great!
LOVE the chairs!!!!!!!!!! Also loving that gorgeous cobalt vase back there with the wheat in it!
Liz,
ReplyDeleteI love the addition of blue to your wall cupboard, dear friend!!!
The elevated sugar bowl on the second shelf is enlightening!
Many times, I use the glass lids from jar candles under a napkin or doily to add height.
That Rooster print is going to makes a "pertect" pairing to your grouping!!!
I adore these dining room chairs! The upholstery fabric is stunning!
Visiting from MM @ BTNOTP!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Love how you changed it up Liz! It definitely has a Tuscan feel!!! ~~Angela
ReplyDeleteI love your plate rack and the blue plates are so lovely. Isn't if funny how we can get a room altogether and then think about painting the walls. LOL!

I think your plate rack looks just lovely, Liz! I change things up, too. I think it's great that you make it work for you.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it, the blue is so pretty in this room and I love the rooster print too. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire ME. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Liz. I love that little shelf and all your pretties on it. Love the little cow creamer and those pretty blue and white dishes. Thanks for popping in to see me at Kiki's. We do have to pay to store her and it's off the island but it's the best place for us.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia
Liz, what a wonderful and striking look! It warms my heart to see the Americana look, just perfect!
ReplyDeleteLiz
ReplyDeleteI love your newly up-dated cabinet and wall!
I think we're all wanting a change-it's turning out to be a long Winter!
Love the blues too and trying to get more blue into my decor…and beautiful scene outside your dining room doors!
ReplyDeleteI like the new chairs and I can't wait to see what you do with the rooster print! I love seeing how you change things up!
ReplyDeleteYour eating area is so pretty! I love how you've styled that wall with the display rack and picture. The rooster picture will look great there as well. Love the wheat in the blue crock and your blue and white dishes mixed with the gold accent pieces. Very country French looking!
ReplyDeleteLove all that pretty blue! And what a nice view from your sliding door, the perfect spot to enjoy a meal.
ReplyDeleteI love your plate rack! I agree that the colorful collection looks better - more French, too, with the rooster and blue and white dishes. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kim @ Curtain Queen Creates
