Ironstone Collection~Dining Room Photos

I have been collecting vintage/antique white ironstone for just a few years now......There is just something about it that I just love, the clean lines and lovely detail on each piece...
I have a small dining room, so anything but all white, would make it feel much smaller!
A touch of whimsy with the huge ice cream sign was not what I had in store.....I just don't have anywhere else to display it, because I do love it.....
In case you haven't noticed, I love collecting vintage alarm clocks, in almost every room!
A touch of greenery stands out with all the white...and adds, to me, a welcoming look!
I've recently added a few pieces of brown transfer ware....very hard to find.....
Vintage coral, bird nest', antique silverware, and a cast iron grate add contrast as well....
To add a little separation between the white, I've added some vintage crochet pieces....
This is one of my favorite soup tureens filled with vintage coral pieces, so pleasing to the eye...
I am always downsizing my collections because you shouldn't keep it all....be sure to check me out on Ebay....My seller name is: Cottage-White
Thanks so much for stopping by.....Hope you all have a wonderful evening!!

Vintage Laundry Room Photos

Just thought I would share photos of my vintage laundry room. Not much has changed in 2 years, so that must mean I like it the way it is.....collections of vintage white buttons, old doorknobs, and baby shoes displayed in old glass battery jars.....
An old french cabinet with old straw stuffed dolls resting in front.....

This old hanging cupboard I have had for many years, I love the old chippy beige paint....
Cute shelf below is just the right size for displaying vintage alarm clocks, and tarnished silver creamers, etc..
And the most important part of the laundry room is your necessities....fabric softener sheets and powder detergent displayed in antique glass jars.....with an old silver baby cup for a scoop.
Who says doing laundry can't be fun? Looking at collections while doing laundry....It will take your mind off all the work! Hope I inspired someone to decorate the most left out room in the house for decorating! Have a wonderful week!
