Play with your food! At a recent artist retreat @studiostackhouse, my dear friend and mentor Leah Spurrier really got me turned onto the joy of collecting vintage dinnerware. She taught me a super neat trick for how to create a unique dining set up that will wow your guests and not break the bank. I wanted to share this brilliant technique with you all. Mix and Match sets— that’s right! Ever been out to a flea market and see broken up dish sets, solo plates and sad little loners that got lost from their family? With a little vision and creativity you can rescue and reclaim these lost battalions and give them a whole new meaning and life. You start by picking a pallet and sticking to it. It can take some time to create a full set but is totally worth the patience. Try adding some hand thrown pottery pieces for soup bowls, serving bowls, coffee mugs and other table top accessories to give your collection a rich, rustic European feel. This is my first collection i’ve put together using this method and I absolutely love how it turned out. What do you think? Drop me a line below and tell me which pieces you love the most.
