White on White

 

 

 

When I did my kitchen update in the fall, one of the things I wanted to add to the decor was a preponderance of white pottery, both on the shelves for display and for everyday use. The use of white in a reoccurring way would add a crisp, clean element to the kitchen. I wanted to simplify and bring in elements that are soothing to the eye - no busy patterns.

 

 

Slowly, but surely as I put away my seasonal decor, I am adding white pieces to the shelves. There are so many interesting bowls and platters to be found, that white doesn't have to be boring.

 

 

I love the contrast of the different patterns, from raised dots, to lines, to swirls and flowers. All add interest, while the white color ties them together.

 

 

Both pretty and functional, this pitcher holds my every day utensils. Sitting on my counter, the white is a wonderful contrast with my stone countertops and newly painted, creamy yellow walls.

There are a few more pieces I am looking for, but will have fun finding just the right thing to add to the collection. Many of these pieces were found at Home Goods - in fact, there is an aisle completely filled with only white serving dishes. I plan on taking my time and finding pottery with interesting patterns or shapes. All will be functional, but also become part of a new, simple style of decor.
