We have some patterned ones, along with solids in the red, purple, yellow, and green. It is my attempt at a Tuscan-style kitchen without really having much to work with (since we live in an apartment). Unfortunately, these dishes chip and break very easily. It could just be us, because we have a 12 year-old who unloads and loads the dishwasher, or it could be our stupid dishwasher. So, I have decided to go with these from Bed, Bath, and Beyond:
While reading Katie's blog, I realized what a great idea it was to use white dinnerware and buy the cute accent plates without purchasing an entire set of dishes for every occasion. I had been pondering buying a set of Christmas dishes, but instead, I am going to replace our old dishes with the white ones and just purchase the accent plates for Christmas, since I am having Christmas brunch at our place.Incidentally, I know that Corelle is virtually indestructible, but I do not like how thin they are.

Those are the dishes we just got from BB&B. Nothing had broke or chipped yet (been about 3 months). At first I was a little underwhelmed that the hubby wanted plain white.. But then I thought - If you make really colourful dishes, it stands out beautifully!
