The Barefoot Contessa has a classic rule for flower arrangements, and I think that it applies perfectly to entertaining and serveware. Her rule of thumb is: one type of flower and all the colors you want, or one color and all of the types of flowers that you want. Stick with this rule of thumb in all areas of design, and the design will always be a good one. Clearly I hate white as the common thread...
As I am trying to get more creative with styling food for each post, as well as getting ready for summer and all of the parties that come along with it, I am getting a hankering for some pretty new serving and entertaining items.

This entire collection from dBO for west elm is gorgeous: I've found when your setting up a table, a buffet, or even a coffee table spread, a little bit of height goes a long way: For my ice cream "habit": :) That is all. A porcelain paper plate is the epitome of making even the most casual of things special... love. I think peach is making a comeback: Gorgeous for a brioche, a pie, or heck - even a salad. Really tempted to leave my address here ... but I will restrain myself.
