I've talked a lot about white dinnerware. Pictured here are Woodbury Birch, top, with Woodbury Flatware and Woodbury stemware and Corinth, stemware, flatware and dinnerware. Both are handmade in Vermont by Simon Pearce. It’s a company that is world renowned for its American made pottery and glass. In Vermont for over 40 years and still producing some of the finest glass made is not an easy feat. But I wanted to show you these two examples because white doesn’t have to be ultra modern, super edgy, cold or sterile or like mass produced items sometimes a bit cheesy. What is beautiful about these is that they fit into a tremendous amount of interior styles and can blend seamlessly with alternate elements for a timeless look.
We don’t keep our cars 20 years; the average American moves every 4 years; we don’t keep our clothing, hairstyles (or sometimes hair color) forever but our dishes? They do seem to be expected to last forever. And with just a bit of care they can!
But that doesn’t mean locking them away in a china cabinet and bringing them out for special occasions and Holidays or not using them. That truly is the investment of such quality made pieces, its beauty we can use every day and should be a part of enjoying our lives every day.
Use the best, use what you love, enjoy it every day- what are earth are you saying it for? Living life is all about the now. Right now and all around you, get into it! And set a gorgeous table.
