Occasionally, just occasionally mind I get a bit antsy about our mix and match approach to homeware, usually after I’ve seen a minimalist blogger post about their crisp white kitchen and collection of Sophie Conran plates. Then I remember that I am clumsy and this eclectic collection suits us well!
I love my small but well-loved collection of Rob Ryan crocks, and as long as I keep to similar hues of blue I think this little lot goes pretty well together.
Just to the left of this shot is another special piece from my kitchen, when we wed in 2011 we were given a beautiful vintage cutlery set by my friend from Uni, I love the plush satin and it’s a well loved piece, coming out for parties and special occasions and sometimes for no occasion what so ever! As you can see I spend a lot of time admiring and polishing them!
I like the mix and match effect! Love the blue shades too xx
Lovely set or sets…they all go together beautifully! I do love a bit of vintage crockery myself and forever find myself collecting bits and bobs when I come across them! You seem to have a nice selection going x
I can always remember my mum buying a new crockery set, however within days my then toddler brother opened the kitchen cupboard and smashed half of it (oops). From that day we always had mix match crockery.
i dont really like mix and match crockery and cutlery myself, i guess it on a mental level, but ive seen mix and match china which looks lovely
I love the blue and white crockery, it is lovely x
I am a mix and match girl too and refuse to have two mugs the same
Oh I love that cutlery set, its amazing! And I love the plates too, but the cutlery is my favourite.
I love mix and match stuff. I adore your Rob Ryan stuff. it is amazing
Your mix and match crockery is lovely. I also have “mix and match” but none of it is pretty and actually most of it doesn’t “match”!! I’d love to start again!
I must say I am very much a “matching sets” person but I love your different stuff together, maybe my matching tendencies are loosening up?
I must admit I like your collection – I love how each piece has it’s own character and the blues do go together well.
