The Art of Arranging Shelves

My friend and business partner Deborah (the intrepid hunter) is always adding to her collection of ironstone. She has been collecting for years and we knew her shelves needed some attention.  We picked one additional item (silverware with bakelite handles) to support the ironstone. I like to choose two to three themes (color, texture or like objects) to build the shelves around.

The everyday dishes are in easy reach and special pieces on top the top shelf

Closed they are still pretty especially with the choclate brown paint in the back
