    Like the green paint on rail and wall. I’m not a fan of the blue plates on the green wall. Plate pattern is busy on a busy wall. But you do what you love. If it’s right you won’t question yourself

    I have blue willow by Johnson Brothers and some blue and white ironstone. I have been collecting the blue and white for 30 years. I love the blue and white. You will really enjoy them.

    I would paint the wall and the top rail green leaving the rail next to wall paper white

    Love blue and white dishes, vases, etc!!! My kitchen is in blue and white. I notice that a lot of you tube sellers pass right by blue and white plates in Goodwill! Blue willow is my favorite.

    Paint the rail too. I love the muted blue and white plates with the Scottish loch and highlands, very nostalgic! I collect the pink and white transfer ware (and a one off black and white which is a jug, it was too much of a bargain). Sending strength to you and your family!

    I love china plates under plants. I would use a variety of plain ironstone in the dining room if you choose to. Maybe a set of two or three shelves would be less nails and you could still display several pieces. I like the blue plates displayed in breakfast nook. The wall collage would be stunning

    Paint all trim the same color as the wall. Let the mural speak for itself. Don’t hang the blue plates. brass compliments the mural it doesn’t fight it.

    Hi Melissa my family says I have a sixth sense. I thought about reaching out to you on a video to see if everything was ok. I am so sorry for what your family is going through. I will pray for your brother-in-law and your family. I have missed my dad this month, even though he has beem gone a long while. I was in our old dirt floored basement and saw the wedding china my dad bought us in an old dirty plastic cart. It is blue and white, but a fancier style with a gold rim that I have never cared that much about. I washed and dried them and put them in an old white cabinet with a string of lights and all of a sudden I thought they were beautiful. We were at a 1.7 million dollar home weekend before last for an estate sale..they were selling the home, barn and acreage. Honestly, I thought we have way prettier things but they did have sets of blue and white plates...all different patterns. I had never seen some of them. One was most unusual.
    One set they were selling the plates for ninety nine cents each and it was half price day so it would be less than fifty cents for any size. When I got home I wished I would have at least picked up a few. I have so many sets and my minamalist family members remind me all the time that I have lots of collections. I liked what you said about homemaking. We love beautiful things and I think it creates a sense of warmth and love. I am glad to hear the story behind the wall paper. I think it is beautiful just the way it is without anything on it. Take care of yourself Melissa. ❤❤❤❤

  • @susanholding2809
    @susanholding2809 5 месяцев назад +3

    I think you need a few more plates of larger proportion. Maybe a platter and a couple larger plates. Fill in with the smaller size. Also, maybe change out that light switch cover to an antique brass to help it blend in.

  • @robertaykavel1129
    @robertaykavel1129 5 месяцев назад +3

    Use a wood shelf unit to hang the blue and white plates. Putting the plates on wallpaper is not doing it justice!

  • @sonjaholder4930
    @sonjaholder4930 5 месяцев назад +1

    I love that paint color with the wallpaper. I would paint the trim as well. I like the way it transitions to the wallpaper much better than the drastic change to white and then the wallpaper.
    I'm sorry to hear about the bad news. Prayers for you and your family.

    This is my first time watching you, and I am so sorry for what your family is going through. I can totally relate to what you’re feeling. I have two channels and loss my oldest son to a motorcycle accident last year. He was in the hospital for 8 months and I was really praying he would come through. Videos didn’t make sense at the time. But I needed to make content for my mental health and also the little money helped me since I had to stop working to care for him in the hospital. It wasn’t much. But it helped. I wanted to cry with you. I know how you all are feeling and again, I’m so sorry. My prayers are with you and your love ones. ❤

    • @Melissa.Ringstaff
      @Melissa.Ringstaff  Месяц назад

    So happy to see you!!❤I think everyone loves blue & white dishes! I want to eventually collect some transfer ware plates in all the colors, diferent sizes, and make a plate wall! My favorite colors are the teal and the purple ones. I know those colors are hard to find🥴 Ohhh goodness I've been looking for a brass rocking horse! I haven't had any luck, i got the milk glass one and hopefully I'll eventually find the brass one. They'd be so cute styled together😊 Ahhh our love for quilts, beautiful❤ I loved the cross stitch piece of the barn! I love old barns.. lol and they're everywhere here😊 You really found the blue & whites! The old country roses are very pretty! Laura really is so pretty & very photogentic! Honey I feel you! My BIL was diagnosed with a severe case of MS last year and went down hill really fast. We lost him week before last, 40yrs old with 2 little girls ages 6 & 4. He was A twin himself, his twin and my MIL are really having a tough time. Its just so hard when our loved ones go thru these things & leave us so suddenly. I love that wallpaper, its amazing!!❤ I like the green wall underneath too! That pattern you like on the dishes really is very pretty, and its almost got a slight scallop edge! The ones from Karm are really pretty too. Wow..i would have been very frustrated with the hanger deal at Lowes! If you mix the smaller ones with larger ones or the way you laid it out on the table its going to be pretty! I love the paint color!! I like the chair rail in the green too. Ohhh I love the chair!! I love collecting little side chairs and dining chairs to sit in corners for decor and your French chairs are gorgeous❤ Love that little space too! My daughter has A shamrock plant, so cute! The plates look cute under the plants! My mom used plates under her house plants too. I think empty ornate gold frames would be pretty on the wallpaper. That's so neat you have your moms table! I really enjoyed the video and i'll keep you in my prayers.. like i said i know its tough losing a loved one when there nothing we could do to change things. These illnesses just seem senseless! Talk with you soon!

    @prissyeidt820 5 месяцев назад +1

    Love the wallpaper. Glad you decided to keep. I like your new paint color.Don’like the painted chair rail. If you do, I would like off white better than white. (Goes with paper better). Also electric covers need to be color of area it is in. Either covered in wallpaper or paint. Our decorating is similar. I also love blue and white. Do use it lot and have a lot. I use it with red. Well not red red. Did a bedroom for friend --red walls blue and white toile drapes dust ruffle ,etc and wall of plates. Everyone loves it!

    • @prissyeidt820

  • @AlisonFulton
    @AlisonFulton 5 месяцев назад +1

    Hello. I think your house looks lovely. 😃 How about hanging 3 of the Lochs of Scotland side plates above the door, where the (wonderful) wallpaper is less patterned and therefore easier to patch if necessary? I also love Blue and white china although I like the Staffordshire brands best. Lastly, extremely sorry for your family’s sadness. All best wishes.

    I'm terribly sorry to hear of your brother in law's cancer diagnosis. I like the new green color in your dining room. I surprised myself but I like the chair rail painted green also. I'm usually the queen of white trim, but I like the green better. Perhaps because there's no white in your wallpaper. Best wishes.

I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer, and hearing about what your family is going through brought me to tears. Hang in there! I'm wondering if maybe green, instead of blue plates might work a little better against the green In the wall paper? The blue plates look good against the solid color wall though! I have collected Flo-blue dishes for many years...have you found any of those?

      Sweet! I saw some Johnson Brothers Fruit pattern - I can’t remember the name of them right now - but I saw them today for such a good price and I’m sad because I can’t get them this week and I know they’ll be gone when I get back from out of town.
      Any particular patterns you collect?

      @Mirkwoodsqueen 5 месяцев назад

      @@Melissa.Ringstaff My mom had Johnson Brother Bird of Paradise when I was little. My eldest niece has those pieces now.
      I am looking for either Johnson Brothers - Harvest Time Brown multicolor, Or Currier and Ives Green/Brown or the multi color - The Old Mill. My new house does not lend to Blue and White any longer. I'm also having to replace the cut glass pieces that I also had to get rid of. So I am doing clear, green and I am to inherit the Red Ruby ware that my mom had. Those all go well with the house.
      If you are looking to paint below the wallpaper, a pale gold, tan, or cream would go well. The green you currently have is a good color as well,

    First I am so sorry for your BIL and his own family and then of course the extended. I have had such bad experiences with Lowes locally in the desert I would rather not have something than go into horrendous customer service by #Lowes. I will not change my mind about the fact that Lowes has not yet taught its employees to provide anything remotely close to customer service Leave alone Good customer service And then forgetting Lowes and employees are NADA ZILCH Zero set Nill Without the customer!!!!! This I have experienced repeatedly over 8 years, so yes I am not saying this aloud frivolously
    As far as the plates I think a pale blue with painting the bottom 1/2 is cream, grey or a blue would look beautiful. Thats me I grew up loving English cottage style
