Plates! Help me find new dinnerware!
Permalink  
 

OK, I need a change.  So, I'm getting new dinnerware.  And I cannot for the life of me find what I like.hmmhmmhmm

You've seen pictures of my kitchen, so what would you suggest.  I like the rustic look.  Nothing plain, but I need some color.  Winner gets a chicken dinner...

 

GO!

I recently purchased white plates and bowls, etc., that are square shaped. I like them a lot, but the dinner plates are HUGE so we use the dessert plates for dinner.

I've had the same dinnerware since I got married. Sorry, I'm not much help.

Look at Crate & Barrel.

Fiestaware! Fun, mix and match. They take a beating, too.

 Different stores carry different colors.  You can also get Fiestaware at Kohls and Macys.  

Fiestaware is also heavy, so go to the store and make sure that works for you.

My dishes are corelle.

I do have some heavy stoneware and some beautiful etched glass dishes.

But they have been in boxes in the attic crawl space for 20 years.

Well...it is done. We decided on the Crate and Barrel dishes. Light blue, taupe, green, and orange. I like the variety mix match. They will look awesome in my kitchen and dining room....
