Autumn Hutch

Autumn Fall Hutch by Jeanne Selep

When autumn arrives each year at my house, a new autumn hutch display follows.  Autumn's palette of colors are more subdued than my normal arrangements, and often consist of mostly brown transfer ware and some Bavarian plates.  Over time I have been picking china and glass items to expand my options, and now my autumn hutch is more colorful.

The hutch (a Welch dresser) allows me to showcase cherished finds like these above.  The mugs above, for example, are antique Villeroy and Boch.  


Vintage Antique Pear Plate

I love this vintage pear plate.  I believe it's a turn of the century or early 1900's art design.  I like the artist's decision to include subtle shadows of the branches and leaves on the white section.  I consider it innovative design from around 100 years ago.

Behind the pear plate in the hutch is an extravagant platter that has an incredible border with thick raised gold edging, an inner border of poppies, and elaborate thin gold filigree line work over the poppies.  Is this border a little over the top or a lot?  I love it's exuberant detail.


Willams Sonoma Apple Plates

I often mix contemporary, vintage, and antiques pieces in my hutch arrangements, and I was happy to find ten contemporary Williams Sonoma apple plates (in 4 different designs) at a resale shop. I love the "botanical drawing" style on the apple plates.

Someone's collection of nine different amber stemmed and footed goblets became mine when I bought them at an estate sale. A lucky find to brighten up the color in the hutch!

[I had fun trying to identify the patterns -
From left to right:
1. LE Smith Stars and Moon pattern goblet;
2. LG Wright Wildflower pattern goblet;
3. Madonna Inn Wild Rose pattern goblet;
4. Diamond point ribbed pattern goblet;
5. Unknown;
6. Westmoreland Paneled Grape pattern goblet]

The German Meissen plate above has oak leaves and acorns trimmed with gold - definitely one of my favorites plates in my collection! It's also a fall plate.  Acorns appear in fall and are all over my driveway!


I hope you enjoyed my fall hutch.  I look forward to looking at other fall decor posts.   I hope you have a great fall season - summer here went by too quickly!

Valentine Day Hutch

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today I am sharing this year's Valentine's Day Hutch arrangement, made up almost entirely of estate sale and thrifted china.


Selep Valentine china cabinet hutch

I have always loved Valentine's Day - the colors, the images, the hearts and symbols.  Valentine's Day combines many loves - flowers, ribbons, lace, hearts, treats and chocolates.  The colors - crisp whites (or ivory) and pinks and reds make my heart sing.

I wanted to use my favorite Valentine themed china: "Love Story" by Mikasa, shown above.  The "Love Story" pattern has silver reflective ribbons forming hearts, and I only have 2 place settings.  As a main goal I wanted to use some 'new to me' rose edged floral plates I got in 2023, Royal Albert's "Serena" pattern, shown below.  Arranging started easily and then got complicated as I arranged and rearranged various dishes.

Some of the pieces of Mikasa's "Love Story" had gotten separated and misplaced.  As I found the pieces, I came across some vintage Venetian red glass that I felt I had to use, and I ended up rearranging parts of my basement!

I decided I would need to mix contemporary and classic china so that I could use the vintage "Serena" plates. 


Philippe Deshoulieres Ginko Dessert plate

I like the juxtaposition of contemporary china with older vintage patterns, but I found it difficult to arrange.  As a quilter, I am comfortable having mismatched colors and patterns.  To me it adds an energy to an arrangement.  I added the Butterfly dessert plates shown above for spots of color.

I added fun accent pieces, like my Italian souvenir "Etruscan horse" that has it's own story and now lives in the hutch.  (She was not thrifted).

I used this milk glass dove candy dish I bought several years ago specifically for Valentine's displays, and it joined the various little porcelain birds I frequently use in my hutch.

It felt like a struggle, but eventually I came up with an arrangement I liked.  I hope you like it too.

It's been awhile since I shared a photography of the entire "Welsh Dresser" china hutch.  To get a full picture of the hutch I have to move the dinette table and chairs out of the way; and a light fixture is still in the way.  It doesn't result in the greatest photo, but I feel the Welsh dresser is a fantastic piece of furniture, with 10 usable drawers and lots of space to display china.

I hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!
