Now I know chances are even if I do manage to get married and have my own house, I probably won't be able to decorate to my heart's content simply because of finances. But. . . a girl's gotta dream :)
Several years ago my parents gave me a teacup and saucer, the beginning of my own Noritake China set! The pattern is called Sweet Leilani and it looks like this . . .
It's kind of hard to tell from the picture. But it's mostly a soft purple color and a sage green. Which leads me to my paint colors for my "dining room"
So this color looks much more purple-pinkish on the computer than it does in real life. But what I want is a pale, pale, purple almost cream kind of wall color,
with this nice chocolaty brown for the trim.
and this lovely sage for accessories like linens and such.Now for the everyday dishes I have an absolute obsession with square plates. I LOVE these brown ones from Bed Bath and Beyond.
with these sorta squarish glasses
Now the flatware I don't really care about, but I like this because it has the same square look but it's softer than the harsh square flatware that I saw.
For everyday meals I like just plain placemats, they're easier to switch out if someone spills something. You don't have to replace the whole tablecloth just one placemat. But for fancier meals I like an actual tablecloth. These are the same brand so theoretically they're the same color even if they don't look it. I'm hoping they're more like the tablecloth color :)
I also like to have napkin rings on my napkins all the time, they just look neater and cleaner that way, plust you don't have to worry quite as much about wrinkles. These are nice because they are silver so you could use them with the china and the everyday. And again, they're square!
Last but not least I like these curtains because they have color yet they're light and airy so they won't make the whole room look dark.
So that's my dream dining room :) I just had to share!
