I thought I would start a new series on Fridays, where I just talk about one thing you can do to add Farmhouse French style to your home, not 5, or 8 or 10. No projects or tours, just one tip.
Just one tip…. hmmmm. I’m not sure I can do this. So what will be my first tip to offer up?
Add an IRONSTONE CREAMER
Now if you don’t have a source you can always get a new one on Amazon. (affiliate link)
Why do you need one?
Well you just do. You can put flowers in them.
You can display them as a set.
You can put wooden spoons in them.
Or even leave them empty. They are so versatile. You can nab a vintage one or a new one.
I love them, and they are one of my ‘must haves.’

Beautiful Anita…Using the ironstone for flowers and such adds such great charm to any room. Looking forward to you Fridays! Have a great weekend!

Love this new series! Love the straight and to the point premise and why cloud a good point with extraneous info? Pretty pics, as always! I’ve been wanting to get a new crock for my utensils. Just may go with an ironstone pitcher… ๐

I love your ironstone pitchers and they do look so nice with flowers, spoons, etc. I found one at a wholesale store.
Love the series and will get some great ideas from this.
Happy weekend.

I absolutely LOVE your blog!! We just moved into an 1870 Cape Cod 1910sq ft home last Sept. 2015!! We went from about 700 sq ft to over dbl.!! So….my style for this home will be retro/shabby chic/Victorian shabby/country shabby!! Each room will be different I think! The kitchen will be kept the retro style it has now, but think we will have to trade the metal cabinets [to the make shift pantry] and use recycled cabinets there..THIS is why I LOVE coming here to get some ideas [oh, can I print off some of your pics to put in my ‘style’ book for our house? thought I would ask first, to keep for ideas later, please email me to let me know if I can! Thanks!] So, yeah, love the ‘1 idea Friday’ !! I might start collecting those along with my many mirrors and coffee/tea pots!!! Have a great weekend!!!

I love my ironstone pitchers too. Where did you get that pretty little shelf, it is so cute and just the right size. Thanks Anita.
Anita says
I don’t remember where I got that shelf Marlene. I think I got it at a thrift store.
