Topsy Turvy

If you have a vast collection of one type of pottery that is spread out among a number of cabinets, add a twist to one or two displays. Place a few large bowls facedown on the shelves, top them with smaller bowls facing up, and then embellish the scene with seasonal accents. This type of arrangement will create levels that are more interesting to the eye.

JoAnn creates an inviting dining room by combining country furnishings, artwork and collectibles. She centered a trestle table, Windsor chairs and Oriental rug beneath an eight-arm wooden chandelier. A tall hutch brimming with yellowware and a low bench topped with baskets bring a folksy ambience to the room.
