Collections

I'm not a typical "collector."  I try really hard not to stash things.  I don't like clutter.  But I do have children.  Things seem to grow, multiply, and break at an alarming rate.

This is my kitchen.

[excuse the "after" in the top right corner. I used it for a before/after post for my pitifully ignored 365 project]

I like clean lines, empty counters and opaque cabinets. I decided that this year the white has to go. I've been looking at paint colors and thing I'm leaning to the "sage" family. It will match well with the backsplash tiles that are green in color.

My dishes are also green.  I've had them for about 8 years now and as mentioned above, some have broken. I saw a post today that just got the wheels in my head turning faster than they've turned in awhile.  INSPIRATION!!!

Anyway, this vintage plate idea is DIVINE.  I almost can't wait to start ebaying, craiglist-ing, yardsaling, etc.
The Mister is likely to disown me. ;-)
