Decorating with Brown Transferware & $100 GIVEAWAY

Brown was introduced as a transferware color around 1829-30 and is the least expensive of colors to make. Therefore it is fairly common, so far as transferware goes, to find.  It is also one of the most collected colors and it is probably the most versatile of colors in my opinion.  Brown is neutral and looks good with any color scheme from pastels to rich jewel tones, but it is with the ushering in of Autumn that I see it popping up in home decor and vignettes the most.  Though, most of these rooms and vignettes are decorated with brown pieces year round, it just seems the perfect time to share them.  I may have to do another post because there are so, so many more equally beautiful spaces that have incorporated the use of displaying brown transferware and I can't fit them all here.

So, check these lovelies out and then stick around for the giveaway at the bottom of the post.

This vignette just stole my heart the first time I saw it.  So many of us have vintage luggage in our homes as decor but not many display it grouped with early transferware pieces like this.  One of my faves for sure!
(source- Atlanta Homes Mag)

This is the upper portion of a huge bookcase I was using in the dining room at our last house.  Now it lives in my breakfast room with a different collection of brown pieces, but I'll save it for another post.   This pic was from a previous post I shared after I'd gotten a wild whim to take everything off and paint the back a mossy green color.  It really made the transferware pop and I like it.  

Okay, this room.  This room-  I want to move in to this room.  It's a perfect mix of numerous patterns and textures, and furnishings, and built ins, and window treatments. 
And transferware.  
Yes, perfection indeed.



These are actually mulberry, but couldn't resist showing this collection against the striking shade of green on the walls and the touch of red in the shade.  So lovely!

(source- The Cottage Journal)

An antique needlepoint in an ornate harvest themed carved frame adds just a bit of color to this arrangement.  Love the symmetry and every detail here!


Keeping it simple.  With exception of the platter over the stove these pieces are mostly pattern free, with just the borders having decoration.  
(source Erica George Dines for Atlanta Homes Mag)

Here's another white kitchen but with pieces having a little more pattern.  I really like this one!



A wall arrangement in my previous guest bath.  One of my most pinned images. 

This lovely bedroom has just one single transferware platter on the night stand.  Beautonomous!


Did I already mention I'm ready to move in to this room?  This is the other side of the photo above with the trundle bed against the wall.  And the antelope rug is to die for…on my bucket list of decor for the home!  Gosh, I love this room so much!

  Below is one of my favorite wallscapes in my house.   Just behind it is our fridge (you can see it sticking out) and the kitchen to the right, the bar/butler pantry to the left which leads to the dining room.  Here I have four of my favorite, and sort of prized brown transferware pieces which I plan to post more on later.  I want to find a cow bell for the bull head but since taking this pic, I did take an old leather belt of the girls and put it around the cows neck.  I'm pretty sure I am the only person who has noticed it, and who ever will, but when you are an ocd - detail oriented person like me it's just something you have to do.   But seriously, wouldn't an old cow bell be cute hanging from this bull head? 


I adore this buffet amassed with a collection of Aesthetic Movement pieces.  The framed botanicals above it create such a cohesiveness as many Aesthetic pieces reflect a love of nature.
(source Tone on Tone)
 Yaaaay, I'm not the only one who hangs plates in the bathroom!  Don't you love the shelf with the open bowls just below? I spy a brown transferware canister by the sink.  I sell these and always say how perfect they are for holding things like cotton balls, q-tips, etc.  
(source)
A large brown transferware platter is the crowning point over the window in this guest bedroom.  Aren't the pieces flanking the window wonderful?  What a serene place to stay.


 I about fell out of my chair the first time I saw Lisa Luby Ryan's breakfast room.  What an awesome collection of Aesthetic Movement pieces, and what an awesome display!


Charles Faudree.  I am enamored with this look.  So rustic, so refined.  So stunning!
(source Traditional Home) 
The subtle touches of red in this dining room by Betsy Speert are the perfect amounts of color.  This room is inviting and cozy.  I want to have at least one meal here, if not 37.  I'd like to set a table at this table too.
(source Traditional Home)
A fellow blogger, Alison at the Polohouse, never fails to delight me with her sense of style and amazing  home.  Here's a shot of her built in with ironstone and brown transferware displayed together in perfect harmony…love the greens and browns together.
(source The Polohouse)

Pure delight!  I spy some transferware across the mantle.

Transferware and buffalo checks.  You just can't go wrong!
(source The Cottage Journal)

Now, isn't this a unique idea?  I love the look of the framed plates.

You may have seen this around here before.  

Be still my beating heart!
(source Southern Accents)

A perfect wallscape!

In this vignette, I made a large topiary and placed it in an antique slop pail.  One of the caged stands has a smaller topiary I made which is in a brown teacup.




And finally, what loveliness brown transferware with a fresh floral arrangement in traditional Fall color brings to the Autumn season!

  2. Nancy, I literally have to wipe drool (well, not really) off my computer every time you update your blog. I have a very lovely multicolor brown transferware platter that I think I bought from you on eBay several years ago. It has pride of place on a bookcase in my living room with a bowl and two other transferware plates I bought at Bonbonnierre. I follow you here on your blog and on Facebook.

  3. Hi Nancy! This post is overflowing with yummy eye candy! Oh my! I will gladly share that lovely brown toile room with you -- so like a Charles Faudree room! But of all the scenes, my favorite is still your wonderful and artfully arranged collection of brown transferware in your dining room! Just the best! (I think I need a larger hutch so that I can add to my red collection!) Thanks for sharing!

  26. Following on FB and Pinterest. I think I stumbled onto your site when browsing through Savvy Southern Style and noticed all Kim's transferware paired with antlers - a combo I love. I purchased some blue and also yellow transferware from you (still can't choose a favotrite color) and have them in my living and dining rooms. So classic and elegant!

    ReplyDelete
  27. OMG, I am so happy to have found this blog/page!! From My Front Porch to Your's FB page shared your link. I was given my mother's Clarice Cliff/Alfred Meakin Tonquin in pink/red set before she passed away. I have been fortunate to find a few pieces at a local thrift store. I also have a few pieces of the newer Churchill Vintage Game set, that has a similar rose border. I have now started following (stalking?) your posts on FB, Pinterest and Instagram. So happy to find another source for additional pieces :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Following on FB and Pinterest. I stumbled onto your site after looking through pics of antlers paired with transferware on Pinterest. Love that combo!! I've purchased blue and also yellow transferware from you to pair with antlers, a cow's head (faux) and to add to existing wall displays. I could really use a large platter to anchor my next vignette, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!

  110. After shopping your website I found the choice of what I would buy amazingly difficult! I finally narrowed it down to the majolica serving tray, red lidded tureen or the blue vintage English candy jar. OR the needlepoint pillows. Always one of my weak spots.

English Cottage Living Room - Before, Partly After & Still a Work in Progress

I am sorry for not posting more pictures of the progress we've made settling into this new (to us) home.   It seems life rushes by so fast and that at times, doing little things, even those that I love and enjoy, often get pushed aside and onto the back shelf of my mind where I tell myself, "I'll get to this later".  Well, it is later and though I don't have as much to share with you as I'd like, I'm going to at least share my favorite spot in our living room.  I promise to show the rest of the room soon but for now the opposite half of the living room has been occupied by my daughters boyfriend who has been staying with us for the past 7 or so weeks until his apartment is ready for him to move into, and so the couch is usually made up for him to sleep on!   Here is a photo of the current living room just as we found it, a small room just off the entry of the house with a nice marble and wood fireplace surround, hard wood floors, beautiful crown mouldi

The History of Johnson Brothers and The Friendly Village Tablescape

Last week, Shawn and I popped into a couple of estate sales and I picked up over 100 pieces of Johnson Brother's The Friendly Village .  I think I may have to hang on to 12 of the dinner plates and use them this year at Thanksgiving but the rest of them, including this 48 piece service for 8, will be you know where. I don't know about you all, but I have had enough of Summer and I am down right ready for the cooler temperatures of Autumn.  I've been doing a lot of rearranging around the house….I'm in one of those zones where I've got a zillion projects going on, even if half of them are just in my mind that I'm contemplating!   We've also been moving kids out and around.  Three of them are out and the three still at home are moving or rearranging their rooms around.    Since I am yearning for Fall, haven't posted any tablescapes in a while and just got these Friendly Village pieces I decided to set the table with them.      Oh great, I

My English Country Mom Cave

Susan, at Between Naps on the Porch is hosting a Home Goods Mom Cave contest with four lucky winners.  Come on in to my little niche I've carved out of my house.  This is where I work, create, relax, read and chat with friends and family. This is one of my favorite spots in the house to read about one of my favorite subjects...English transferware or poetry, and drink tea.  I often start and end my day right here. Next to the chair is an antique dumbwaiter which holds some decorative items as well as lots of poetry books.  This is the view of the room from the wing back chair.  This cozy room serves as a small living room, although it's not uncommon to have 8 or 9 of the girls in here during family gatherings.  It's usually where we all wind up to have coffee and visit. . On either side of the sofa I display some of my vintage Canine figurines on Spode meat drainers. Above the sofa are some of my favorite paintings.  The one directly over the sofa my Mom pain

The Aesthetic Movement and Transferware

What is the Aesthetic Movement? The Aesthetic Movement refers to a period of time in the late 19 th century (1870-1900) which was a backlash to the formal Victorian years.  Artists and writers of the Aesthetic movement period maintained the belief that art should provide refined sensuous pleasure, rather than convey moral or sentimental messages.  They believed that art did not have any didactic purpose; it need only be beautiful.  Japanese art had a great influence on Aestheticism. Aesthetic interiors were often decorated with Japanese prints, screens, fans and other objects. An appreciation of the art of Japan is seen in the work of many Aesthetic artists and designers such as James McNeill Whistler and E.W. Godwin. photo credit Country Living The Aesthetes developed the cult of beauty, which they considered the basic factor in art. They ascertained that life should copy art and considered nature as crude and lacking in design

Decorating with Blue Transferware and a GIVEAWAY!

   If you haven't already been over to Enchanted Home , you'll want to go over after you finish this post because the wonderful Tina, who authors the incredibly gorgeous blog,  has a great post up about decorating with dishes plus she's hosting a giveaway to my online shop, English Transferware !  Details at the end of the post! I know Tina loves blue and white (just look at her header and you'll know!) and has a collection of her own. In honor of Tina, I've decided to share some of my favorite images of rooms decorated with and often around blue transferware collections.  You can see more rooms decorated with blue transferware on my Pinterest board . To me, Charles Faudree is just about as synonymous with English transferware as he his with French Country Decorating...he seemed to always find a use for it in his incredibly detailed decorating schemes.  Isn't this bedroom charming? I love this next image from Decor Magazine.  Look how the blu
