Gold and silver never used to be friends. Now they’re in a club singing songs and holding hands with bronze, platinum, copper, rose gold, and anything else that shimmers and shines. Mixed metallics are soooo pretty for a fall kitchen. Can’t get enough time staring at this pretty cabinet!
This set up is my perfect fall combination — Gold Rose by Sango , delicate etched glasses from Susquehanna Glass that belonged to my grandmother, and Franconia’s Silver Thistle that was my mother’s. Very shortly, my wintery Christmas decor will come out, adding overtones of copper to the mix. Can’t wait!
I knew I wanted my china cabinet to show off the dishes that had the most meaning for me. This Gold Rose set belonged to my beloved aunt (she is very much alive and well, just downsized some of her dishes when she moved). The glasses were my grandmother’s, and the Silver Thistle was my mother’s. When she inherited several sets from both her mother and mother-in-law, my sisters and I were each given the choice of a set. Amazingly, we each wanted different ones — so we all got our first choice! How’s that for family dynamics.
I am hugely blessed to have this wonderful and beautiful memento of women who love me.
