If you'll look on the right of the china hutch wall, you'll see the tea pot and cup that I got at the Bombay Company a couple of years ago. I loved it, but as you can see, it looks a little lost.
I had grabbed a couple of matted frames with pictures I didn't care about at a garage sale.
Taking the picture out as well as the glass, I had the idea of framing the porcelain tea set. At first I didn't like the fact that it didn't fit inside of the mat, but after playing with it, I loved the idea of it coming out. I thought it gave it more depth.
Went back and bought another set for the right of the hutch!
Here's a view of it from a photo in my recent post: My love affair with Blue and White.
Thanks Barb from Grits and Glamour for sponsoring this great event!

Delightful idea .... can't believe how much the dynamic is changed by the addition of the frames!
That is a beautiful idea! Thank you!!!
Just wanted to stop by and say hi. Haven't spoke to you in a while. I'm looking forward to meeting you Monday! I enjoyed your photos!
Very creative way to display you tea pot and tea cup. I'm always amazed at the creativity I see every day. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Great idea.It looked good before,but NOW it looks GREAT...ann
Rose, that looks so fantastic!!!!!! I love it!
Justine :o )
This was such a creative solution to your problem. I love the way the set comes "out" of the mat. Wonderful idea. Kathy
Great idea. I love how they turned out. I really like the one where the pot is tilted to look like it's going to pour.
Who but you would ever have thought of this brilliant idea? I love it (even though I do think you're a little "off the wall") LOL! laurie
You are just so clever! What a beautiful idea. ♥
I love it when a room reflects what the owner really loves! Thanks for visiting me....still learning and tweaking.
I love this, Rose! You are certainly the most creative one! Not to mention you have the most gorgeous dining room!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
So my ? is how did you get it to stay up there without falling off?
It looks great! I would never have thought to do that! It really changed things.
Hi Rose...This was just what the designers would hope to achieve if only they could have thought of it...wonderful! ;-) Bo
Hi Rose! Oh, poor thing! Don't worry, I've put your name in the pot!
BE a sweetie,
Shelia :0
You are just soooo smart! It took them to a whole new level! LOVE IT!
They look soooooooooooo much better framed. I hate to be STUPID but, how did you mount them to the wall to begin with? Love your idea.
We never get tired of blue/white, do we?
My Q is the same as others: How did you make this stay on?
Scribbler
Very, very clever!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Oh my gosh, that is the cutest idea! What a unique way to give a small grouping some pop, and the 3-D effect is emphasized with the handle overlapping the mat. Very cool!
Very nice! Great idea!...Christine
What a beautiful dining room! I remember all the pretty blue and white Bombay had...you had a great idea!
