Blue Willow/ Winter Decor

I am ready to throw off the shackles of this sad holiday and forget Christmas 2013.



The added pressure to get it all done was almost too much for me at times and I was stressed out. 

I am ready to pack up all decorations and say good-bye to it all but I won't.



I am hosting my family on Saturday so putting away the trees will have to wait but I was ready to change things up in the kitchen.



You have seen my red and brown transferware collections but I don't think you have seen my blue and white dishes.

I have a set of Blue Willow dishes from my grandmother. 

My mom in her antiquing quests added to her mother's collection by including some 

Blue Onion pieces. 

We choose a blue and white pattern for our wedding china and I continued collecting it throughout the years.





I tired of all the pattern and color about 13 years ago and packed it all away. 

After a separation of sorts, I was able to pull it out to use
on occasion.



It looks beautiful with the white cabinets.

As I was thinking about my post holiday decor, I thought the blue and white would feel cool and wintery. 



I pulled it all out a few years ago but that was before we painted the kitchen cabinets. 

I love the pop of cobalt with all the white. 
Pretty.

I love this little corner with the "pie safe."

I found the pillow and the little heart at the big Christmas store in town.

I don't know why I love switching things up but I love having a new look every once in a while.



One of the benefits of having neutral color scheme is the ability to change the accent color on a whim.
I love it.
