Everybody is being so polite here. And I will try to be too, but the busy pattern behind the collection of white items competes with the shapes of the collection. On the assumption that the collection is the star of the show, I think a shocking pink SOLID color would add zing to the collection and play up the interesting shapes of the varied items. I’m assuming you could get a piece of cloth that would cover the entire back of hutch and give a more polished/finished look.

Hi Nicole…

I wanted to say how much I love this. I was reading through and I know it was posted in 2008, and I think it’s great it’s still drawing debate and commentary.

I think this should be viewed as a little work of art, like a quilt. I think the POINT is that your eye moves around and settles on different things. There are elements of texture within and yet a sense of harmony.

I always enjoy your blog and style and wish you could come to England to decorate my house. When I do redecorate our next house, I will be keeping your style in mind. You’ve also made me aspire to wear more dresses. Thanks :O)

PS …. adore the carrot top.

I really like this! I don’t see it as too busy, I think all the white really pops against the fabric. Much more so than before)

I had to comment! I love the look and have been saving up my own stash of all-white vases, goblets, cake plates and the like for a similar project – wonderful job!

This is fabulous! I have been struggling with this very project! I have been contemplating painting the back of our shelves but was afraid I wouldn’t like it. I am going to try some fabric and see how that works out! Is there an online source you prefer over others to buy fabric? All the ones I have been using are so hard to navigate!

Yours Truly,

I think it looks AMAZING !! I’ve taken a few design classes and its perfect. You dont want everything all matchy matchy. The design is a powerful element but doesnt overpower the beauty of your collectables. I think you should go with pale pink for ceiling or white. Both with compliment the room and the design in the hutch. BEAUTIFUL job !

I think it’s great that you have a defined style. I haven’t found mine yet:( It seems I love most of the style I see…
