I never used to like white dishes. They seemed so utilitarian. So plain. But it seems I am changing my mind. I have seen some wonderful photos of white dishes lately and they are calling out to me "Do this at your house!" I found some yesterday at Wonderbuck's for very reasonable prices. All of our dishes seem to be breaking. We've lost 2 bowls and 3 plates in the last few months. I have to admit that my Emile Henri plates and bowls have lived a good long life. I got them over 20 years ago and they do not owe me a thing! What we have now are a mix of various dishes in blue, green and hand me downs. I am going to start picking up white pieces when I see them and one day my dining table and cupboards might look like this!

What do you think? White? Or not?
My son and his girlfriend had black dishes that now reside in my cupboard. They moved across country and it was cheaper to replace them than cart them across country.
I am not sure that I am in love black dishes but they will look elegant on some tables.
Regards,
Anna

Hmmm...I don’t know about black dishes. But you can’t beat free!

I have white dishes. I think that food should be the star, not the dish. And food looks best on white dishes, at least that's what I believe.
Also, it's so easy to pick up extras and accessories, even if not the same brand, they all seem to go together.
