My spring cleaning project for this week was to
wash this pottery and give the shelves a fresh coat
of paint. And I gathered a few more pieces from
around the house so they would all be together!
The more the merrier, right?
I picked up the leaf shaped plate at an estate sale
this week and it's the finishing touch!
The shelves used to be white and I'm liking the flat
black much better! These shelves are above
my washer and dryer. They make doing laundry
just a little bit more fun!

Yes, I could stare at that for quite some time. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteOld stuff is just cooler, isn't it? :)
DeleteVery pretty...and I do like the black shelves because they seem to make the pottery really stand out. Just curious about something because I'm new to all of this. Why does the white have a yellow tinge to it? Is it from a glaze that was applied or is it from the materials that were used in making it? All of your pieces are gorgeous, Betsy. Gives you something beautiful to view while you are turning those socks outside in. ,)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's all called white but really it's can be anything from a butter color to beige. It was made that way. It hasn't discolored or yellowed. There are some bright white pieces with a high gloss finish. I have a few pieces but don't have them displayed with this shade. They actually look better with my old ironstone!
DeleteThank you so much for that explanation. I learned something today! :)
DeleteIt's fun, isn't it? I was just thinking that I collect the green pottery and the variation in shades is wide, too....there's the light blue-green, the dark emerald green and everything in between!
Deleteso beautiful Betsy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gloria :) It gives me something pretty to look at when I wash clothes!
Deletelove this color !
DeleteThat's a beautiful collection! I love that leaf plate!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cute? I think it adds a little variety, too.
DeleteHi Betsy - wonderful collection - what a range of pieces ... isn't that leaf plate lovely, - the cockerel too - then the gluggy jug and all the other items ... a wonderful range of a whiter shade of pale on black! Cheers and enjoy the view ... Hilary
ReplyDeleteThere are a few English pieces in there! :)
DeleteAll nice and neat
ReplyDeleteCan't be beat
The black really makes them shine through
But got one question for you
Do you have any wall space remaining?
Such room with all your collections must be draining lol
Trying to keep my collections under control
Deleteas many things through my house roll.
Many end up going to the shop
as some of my collections I crop. :)
Love the black shelves. Black really elevates so many things.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. My first experience with that was when we painted all of our interior doors
Deleteblack. It completely changed the look of our home...in a good way!
Gorgeous collection, Betsy, and I think the black really sets them off! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI think so, too! Much better!
DeleteI love the black! It really makes the white pottery pop. I admire the way you can even make your laundry area beautiful.
