Happy Hour : Home Plates, part 2
Every been in a restaurant when it turns "Happy Hour?" You notice the mood instantly changes as everyone is ready for fun. Whenever I'm having a Bad Hair Day, my cure is always a personal Happy Hour. Of course, I'm hopeless addicted to interiors; so for me, this hour is all about decorating. In this series, we'll look at some quick and happy mood changers for our very own Happy Hour. Each should take about an hour - a mere 60 minutes - to perk up our minds and our rooms. Let's get the party started.
All of a sudden, I'm seeing a "new" trend of walls full of plates. I'm also seeing white kitchens but that's a refreshing story for another day. It seems all granny-types lament that their younger relatives don't want all the sets of generational china. Maybe the pendalum is swinging toward a new use. Let's take a look.

A collection of handmade plates strikes a powerful image.
Just before it got dark yesterday, I snapped this photo of the kitchen. I used to have this wall filled with brown transferware plates. Right now, I like the simlplicity of a linen tablecloth and my new turkey breast broom hanging on an estate sale find. But. . . I'm in for some changes in 2025 so maybe I'll dig out those plates.
Tomorrow, Jesus and the crew are starting a new project here which should be finished in about 4 weeks. I'll be back midMarch with the final results. In the meantime, enjoy your Sundays!
