As you scroll down, notice how Jeanne mixes so many different patterns beautifully. There's a wonderful balance of colors and pattern. She also layers in other pieces like salt and pepper shakers, hearts, bunnies, etc... mixing different heights and shapes. Each hutch display is completely charming! Enjoy!
Valentine's Day Hutch: What a beautiful mix of patterns. This display shows how wonderful it is to mix different patterns together, be it on a hutch or in a table setting. The look is magical!
Easter/Spring Hutch: Notice how Jeanne has mixed in decorative birds and bunnies in this hutch display. They are perfect for her springtime/Easter theme.
Blue and White Hutch: Classic blue and white...always beautiful, always fresh and inviting! I can never get enough of blue and white china.
4th of July Hutch: I like how Jeanne incorporated in some gold accented pieces. It really adds so much to the red, white and blue patriotic scheme.
Thanksgiving Hutch: This display definitely has me yearning for fall!
Christmas Hutch: The touches of white soften and enhance the bright Christmas colors of red and green.
Which display was your favorite? Did you find some great ideas for displaying your china collections?
Don't be afraid to buy odd "orphaned" pieces when you find them in thrift stores or garage sales, even though they aren't a complete set. You can see how great it looks when different sets or individual pieces are mixed together on a hutch, just imagine how beautiful they would look all mixed together in a table setting.

Susan,
ReplyDeleteThis post of the changing hutch is full of inspiration! My favorite had to be the Thanksgiving hutch...all the traditional fruit motif plates. I saw those like my grandmothers collection in the blend. Thank you for sharing this beautiful hutch...a work of art!
Fondly,
Pat
how beautiful!! so beautifully displayed!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations to the winner!!
Jeanne has some beautiful pieces .. hard to decide which is my favorite .. but if you twisted my arm I'd have to say the Valentine Hutch .. Blue Willow has always been my favorite but recently I've started collecting the Red & Pink sets ..
ReplyDeleteOh my! I could never choose just one -- what a wonderful display of dishes.
ReplyDeleteThey are all beautiful but I love the Valentine display as I love red and white transferware.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting,
Carolyn
wonderful seeing the seasons scroll by~
ReplyDeleteWow, Jeanne wins! Such lovely china and such great energy to change up her display each holiday and season! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this will inspire me to do better!
I love all the hutch displays and find it comforting to know there are more os us out there!
ReplyDeleteThank you for featuring Jeanne's hutch. I love her blog.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick a favorite and that is hard to do because they are all lovely, I'd choose the blue and white.
Jeanne is my hero! I don't think there is any way in the world I could find the patience to change out my china cabinet with the seasons. That takes a LOT of tenacity! I'm proud of Jeanne, and I hope to one day be able to follow suit! :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, those are gorgeous! I definitely think Thanksgiving is my favorite! Thanks for hosting Susan!!
ReplyDeleteSince I am so into Blue and White right now, that one was my favorite but these displays are SO full of inspiration! Thanks to her for allowing you to share her work!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice display of the different china patterns. I like the Easter/spring display the best. All I could think of is the time it must take to do each one of these displays. This is certainly a labor of love.
ReplyDeleteGosh you are so great at that! I think my favorite is the fall colors although they are all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat way to display all those gorgeous china! I love all of them...Christine
ReplyDeleteI'm supposed to pick a favorite? Nearly impossible. I guess it's the Valentine's one because I love the colors. I really think it all looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteTONIGHT I suppose my favorite is the red and white Valentine display. But I love the way Jeanne mixes in a touch of green with the blue/white hutch ... and I always have a soft spot for fruit china. Everything is beautiful, and I'm so glad you shared this. She certainly gets the price for changing out her display every season!
ReplyDeleteL'ensemble de ces porcelaines sont ravissantes... S'il fallait que je fasse un choix je pense que je pencherais davantage sur les porcelaine "Saint Valentin". Le côté fleur bleue qui ressort chez moi!!
ReplyDeleteGros bisous
O.K. This is really, really tough because they are all lovely in their own way, but I think my favorite is the 4th of July hutch. What a beautiful and effective use of red, white and blue! I loved it!
ReplyDeleteSusan, There is so much to love about all of her displays. My favorite is the 4th of July. Just loved everything about it. Thank you for sharing. Pam
ReplyDeleteI totally love, love them all, just like you said: You couldn't resist posting them and I cannot choose one! Yep, I got great ideas from this. Thank you Susan for featuring and for hosting TT. Love, FABBY
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is the china/hutch lover like me blog dream come true. So many beautiful pattern and displayed and so much inspiration. Thanks so much for introducing Jeanne. I also read you post earlier today, and I'm thankful for you it turned out like it did. Thanks for sharing your story, its so important. Much appreciated, from this grandmommy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting

The French Hutch
Love each and every one!! the blue and white was especially wonderful. that's what I want to do in my house, once I get a hutch. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was the top red and white. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great collection.
ReplyDeleteA hutch,here in the UK we call it a dresser.
I love all the seasonal displays I think my favourite would be the blue and white one. Jackie in Surrey, UK.
Oh WOW!! Jeanne has a great eye for putting displays together. They are ALL FABULOUS!! However, my favorite one is the 4th of July display...the gold dishes just really make it pop!!
ReplyDeleteShe makes me want to try this. I love Halloween and think that'd be a fun one to create.
Time to shop for dishes.... ;)
Well, of course I love the china hutch!!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm still reeling from your near abduction post.
How amazing that you would post your personal stories...this is a Fallen world where there is actual evil and evil against children, I believe, is the worst.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share something that I'm sure still makes you feel sick at your stomach. Being an orphan/in and out of foster care, etc. until I was 6, I am well aware of the horrors that face children. So much of the world doesn't know how devious people can be when luring children.
Thank you again. I respect you immensely.
Love/hugs/blessings,
Lana
My 1st choice of Jeannes dishes is the blue & white then the easter display. Makes me want to go home and play with my few dishes
ReplyDeleteI love BNOTP
Susan, Jeanne's hutch displays are wonderful! I especially love how she used single pieces to to add more interest to the sets. If I had to pick only one, I guess it would be the Valentine display, but I like them all!
ReplyDeleteWow, she does a wonderful job with those! I loved them all, but the blue and white one was my favorite. This is a great inspiration - I love that she changes it out for different times of the year! What a great job on all of them!
ReplyDeleteThese displays were gorgeous! The blue/white was my favorite -- classic, great details, and such a perfect balance.
ReplyDeleteWell of course I LOVE the blue and white -- but the display that really "sent" me was the Easter one ... mostly because there is a reticulated plate right smack dab in the center of the shelves that is absolutely GORGEOUS. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to keep changing the hutch displays.
Now -- where does she keep all that china at other times? :-)
Cass
Thank you for sharing this inspriation, she has a beautiful hutch!
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower! Looking forward to seeing more of your posts.
Michele
Why have I never thought to do this??? I keep the same old dishes out and all my other china in storage until a holiday. I will begin a whole new tradition beginning this fall!! Thank you for sharing that!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings

Susan-
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I am always looking for new ways to decorate my dining room table when I am not entertaining. Maybe you can do a Tablescape Thursday which focuses on non dining tablescapes. What do you think?
Adele
It is so exciting to see some color. I am so tired of all these houses that are color free, all white, even the dishes. I am so happy. YA,COLOR! Richard from My Old Historic House.
ReplyDeleteReally, really gorgeous. How fun that she displays these all. I can just imagine how magical it is to come in and see it when it is changed. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing photos of this hutch! I loved them!!!!!! FUN. Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collection this is! It is such a fun display for Valentines!! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeletexo E + J
OMG.... this is awesome!! Like the colors- red and white. So different from the usual- blue and white.
ReplyDeleteI am hosting my first Link-up party - Tea Time Thursdays. Would be glad to see you there :)

Hello Susan! I'm glad you shared my hutch photos on your blog. I love checking out your blog and I am always hoping to (someday soon) make my first table scape post and post it (on BNOTP.) I had so much fun reading the comments on your blog. It made my day. :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, (By the Way),
ReplyDeleteJackie in UK's comment was fun. I guess my hutch is really a 'Welsh Dresser'. But most Americans wouldn't know that.
And I have wondered what the British call the piece of furniture you put clothes in? Is that a dresser too?
Susan, thank you for sharing this and introducing us to Jeanne. I like the idea of changing out the Welsh Dresser with the seasons. Difficult to pick a favorite, but you know I'm fond of patriotic settings. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to follow Jeanne's lead and do the same on our Welsh Dresser. ~ Sarah
PS
Do you have a new TT button? The image on my sidebar disappeared.
Beautiful display of china, and a lovely blog...
ReplyDeleteA big "v-8" moment for me, why hadn't I been using my china as seasonal decor in the hutch?
