What color table linens for dining room?

dinnerware sets vintage image

Leigh

I have baby blue walls in my dining room with a vintage dark wood dinette (the chairs are upholstered in white). I recently got a pink depression glass dinner set as a gift. Do I match my table linens to the pink of the dinnerware or to the color of the walls?
I thought of getting white linen with colored embroidery, but what color? lol
Thanks for reading. Any tips or advice will be appreciated.

Answer
I would do baby blue or something that incorporates the blue & the pink. I LIKE embroidery!!!

How many sets of dishes do you think one should have?

I have two, but I've seen another that I just love. It's not a matter of keeping a Kosher kitchen; I just love dishes.

Are three services too many?

Thanks for your input.

Answer
If it's not going to break your budget, and you have a place to put it, go ahead!

I have: one full formal set of good china (service for 8), a smaller set of good china with lunch, soup and salad plates only (service for 6), one "everyday" set of Corelle (service for 8), a collection of restaurant ware by Homer Laughlin (creator of Fiesta Ware) in beige (service for 6), a 4 pc set of different colors of vintage Fiesta Ware, a 4 pc set of vintage 1950s casual dinnerware, a 4 pc set of inexpensive fall colored dishes, and a 4 pc set of turquoise colored dishes, as well as several (about 40 or 50) "tea and toast" sets for entertaining.

It just depends on what you can afford and how much storage space you have!

Enjoy!!
