"In a series called Jo + a Tiny Mic, Gaines took viewers through her tips for accessorizing tablescapes. For instance, she said that her love for scallops isn't going anywhere, and that fresh stems (or, as she put it, "big ol' stems from your backyard") are the perfect finishing touch for a table. However, what stuck with me is how she encouraged viewers to use mismatched, vintage dishware - and a current favorite color scheme appeared."
"But the key to making this dishware really stand out is to refrain from buying sets - go for individual pieces, instead. If you're not finding your dream set at your local secondhand shop, Williams Sonoma even has a set of new blue and white plates that are already mismatched, so you can get that collected-over-time look instantly."
Mix old and new pieces to create timeless table settings, favoring vintage elements. Mismatched blue-and-white dishware provides variety and a collected-over-time look when sourced from antique stores and thrift shops. Avoid buying matching sets and instead build a tableware collection from individual plates. Add scalloped details and large fresh stems from the backyard as finishing touches to enhance visual interest. New manufacturers also sell intentionally mismatched blue-and-white plates for an instant collected feel. These approaches combine vintage character with modern pieces to generate a timeless, layered tablescape suitable for dinner parties.
