This is what our kitchen looks like now.

Not too many cupboards, but each one is filled to the brim.
I'm not sure how many dish sets you have but I have 3. Now I know for a lot of people that is 2 too many. But it is so hard for me to get rid of any of them.
Our everyday dishes are Fiestaware which I love. It's so durable and strong that I don't mind Finley using it. Plus, it comes in a bunch of great colors.
Then I have this Taylor Smith Taylor set called "Cathay". So fun and funky.

The great thing about this set is that I have a bunch of fiesta stuff that matches the pattern on these so I can mix and match if I want.
Then I have this set (on the left) by Farberware called "Park Avenue".

My Dad gave me $100 for my birthday when I was 18 or 19 and I went over to T.J. Maxx and bought these. What I thinking at the time I have no idea. Don't get me wrong I love these too, but what 18 year old goes out and buys dishes when they still live with their mom?
What I do know is that our new house has about a gazillion cupboards. Even after I unpack all of our stuff there is still going to be a ton of room. Maybe even enough room for another set of dishes. I mean I do really love these Russel Wright dishes.

Dawn, more reasons I love you. I also have 3 dish sets. And I bought dishes with babysitting money when I was 16, you know... for "someday." They were the cutest sky pattern, blue with clouds, and 1 by 1 my "dear" husband broke them until all the "set" was barely enough to cover a dinner with 4 adults. So I packed away 1 of each item for postery (dinner plate, bowl, mug, salad plate) and sold the remainder at a garage sale. It gave me some cash to put towards dish set #4! haha
ReplyDeleteLindsey I can't believe you bought a set so early too. That is so funny. I thought I was the only weird one.
