Colorful Dishes

Gathering of Lines Table Setting ideas

I love a great white dish set. Ikea does a great white dinner set for only 19.99.

Target also does a great 12 piece white set.

The best thing about these white dish sets is that you can utilize them for any season/holiday and really have some fun. I like to mix a white dinner plate with a colorful patterned soup bowl on a bright placemat and end up with a beautiful spring/summer setting. (Yellow bowl can be found here, the blue plate can be found here both are microwave and dishwasher safe – music to my ears).

The white sets are inexpensive and easy to replace while the colorful accents are fun to search for. Buy a set of 4 salad plates at an antique mall or pull out your great-grandmother’s china salad plates. Find some bright red bowls at a garage sale and mix those in with your white plates. The possibilities are endless.

At times, you may see some gray marks appear on these inexpensive dish sets. Just use equal parts water and baking soda and it will come right up.
