Someone Else’s House… Stepback in Pewter
Let me take you back to my wonderful friend’s home. She has a pewter collection and has beautifully displayed some of the pieces in this antique stepback hutch.
This beautifully restored antique sits in her dining room. Click on the “Front Entry” and “Sun-filled Front Living Room” to link to a tour of each of these rooms that adjoins her dining room.
The early American styled pieces, either reproductions or period pieces, lend themselves to such warmth and coziness.
I love the real age showing on this antique ceramic knob. The details of the restored stepback cupboard, like this original hardware, and the simplistic grooved detail in the door, are so beautiful.
My friend’s knack for displaying is truly a talent. I love how she has the pieces layered and isn’t afraid to display beautiful pieces that have their age showing.
She changes out the display for Christmas…I’ll try to remember to get a picture to share with you. It’s stunning!
I’m linking up at these great parties:

I love all the pewter. I have some pieces that were my moms.
She has some lovely pewter pieces… the blue and white is wonderful too! Like her, I don’t mind a bit displaying a piece with obvious signs of age. To me it just means someone loved it enough to hold on to it all those years… and that just makes it even more special to me.
oh I so agree with you Ellen.
What a great way to look at this! When I was younger I was hesitant to display chips, cracks and the like. As I have aged I feel more free to let that all show. Maybe because I don’t want to be judged negatively for my own signs of wear!
Amen Sister!
I have always had a love for pewter, but funny enough I don’t own any. She does have a lovely collection. Thank you for sharing.
Oh I totally understand that, I do that with stuff too!
Her pewter collection is amazing!!!
Thanks for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality!
Wow. What a great way to show off her collection! Love the hutch too!
Such a lovely piece and filled with so many treasures.

I love the way the blue and white dishes look layered with the pewter. I agree that your friend is talented at styling. I will look forward to seeing her Christmas display. Thanks to you and your friend for sharing her home at Show & Tell.
Your collection is beautiful. I love the pewter and the blue and white together. Thanks for sharing. Happy to be your follower.
Oh how I love that hutch! She does indeed have everything beautifully displayed.
Oh, I love this look! I wish I had a hutch to put mine in! Thanks for the tour. Thank you for joining me at Home Sweet Home!

I found your blog through The Shabby Nest. Love your blog and your style. My husband and I are redecorating and I’m always on the look out for ideas, and inspriation.

Thank you Susanne for such a sweet comment! Little Bit
Your friend’s pewter and transferware pieces are lovely and she’s displayed them so beautifully in the hutch. I’m visiting from French Country Cottage,
