Casual (and durable) enough for every day, yet fancy enough for nice meals. And it's white so it will never go out of style. I keep getting asking for more pieces for birthday/Christmas since I love it so much milano14 on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488545 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 11:13:12 +0000 milano14 2488545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have 12 place settings (dinner plate, salad plate, dessert plate, soup bowl, cereal bowl, & mug) from Pottery Barn, their Great White line, that we registered for when we got married 9 years ago. A few of the plates have chips in them but overall they've held up really well. If we start to lose plates and bowls, then I'm planning to replace with something from C&B.

(Someone gave us a gift certificate asa wedding gift.) We generally use these only for "special occasions" but we entertain a lot, so we have a lot of special occasions. We used to have LLBean plates, passed on to us used, but they wouldn't fit in our new dishwasher. So I sold them and got some the house brand Coupe dinnerware from Macy's (white, 8 sets). They have huge sales several times a year, so I got them for maybe 1/3 their usual price. They show no wear after more than a year of everyday use and stand up to two toddlers, so I expect we will keep them for basically forever. Although the two sets don't match, they work fine together for big gatherings when we need more than 12 place settings.

So i finally said enough is enough and donated all the mixed plates. I kept the pasta bowls, mugs, and salad plates, and bought new plates and soup bowls that coordinated with the colors we had. I seriously bought them at Dollar Tree a few months ago and they have held up great. AND if they break no big deal because they were $1 ha. lamariniere on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488396 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 09:15:37 +0000 lamariniere 2488396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @regberadaisy: we have the plain white Artesano line and I love them every time I time I use them, which is at least 3 times a day! :silly: Good design makes me so happy. snowjewelz on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488370 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:58:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2488370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've only had our plain white set from BBB for 3 years so not replacing anytime soon! I think based on your situation you def can replace! We don't have any special china nor do I really want any or think they're necessary.

I broke one plate when we were first married but none since. I have a fancy set that I don't even put out on holidays - it lives in the china cabinet lol. I have my mom's Christmas set because she got new for herself. I have 6 place settings of a fall themed china that i loved from home goods. I don't really see myself getting new any time soon or ever really. If you have a home goods near you, that's a good place to check because you can often find nice stuff - but I haven't seen more than 8 settings I don't think. Macys is also good and you can ask for gift cards for holidays so you can add to your collection over time Littlebit7 on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488340 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 08:26:02 +0000 Littlebit7 2488340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: yes! They make a ton of really interesting yet useful serving pieces @brownepiano: they are certainly heavy duty. And lots of different shapes and colors to fit every taste. The one thing I regret getting are the matching smaller coffee cups and saucers. We don't ever do a "coffee service" and I generally require my coffee in 16-20 ounce servings. Ha! But honestly other than the typical knives/mixer/pots and pans these are my favorite thing we received and purchased when we got married. They have held up SO well.

They are expensive to replace, although not as expensive as china. We have Juliska For DS, he uses plastic plates (munchkin) or a set of melamine plates. Sometimes he uses the Juliska pieces, but I don't want him messing with them! brownepiano on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488306 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 07:42:34 +0000 brownepiano 2488306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Littlebit7: thanks for mentioning this! It's the first set of heavy duty porcelain that I've seen available in red. We have a set of 12 from our wedding but most of the pieces we use regularly are chipped and everything breaks on our new tile floor. I've wanted to slowly replace pieces but in stuff that matches our color scheme and will last longer so I don't have to buy a whole set at once. I love the colors they just have not held up! regberadaisy on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488299 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 07:27:03 +0000 regberadaisy 2488299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @lamariniere: loooove Villeroy & Bosch. We're still using the set we registered for, going in 6 years. We're not really fancy "set" people so I just have enough plates and bowls. DD uses the dessert plates as a dinner plate. :P looch on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware/page/2#post-2488296 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 07:21:30 +0000 looch 2488296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Littlebit7: Thank you for suggesting front of the house.

They're not an expensive/brand name but look really pretty so I love using them for myself.

I just bought some cheap corelle dishes, they're good enough for everyday use and easily replacable if I damage or break them.

We have subsequently added 8 matching pasta bowls. Our soup bowls dont match the set. I cant see us replacing any time soon - I guess we will when too many items get broken or chipped. tofuwad on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488250 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 00:55:35 +0000 tofuwad 2488250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm so so bad about breaking dishes. We've had a set for like three years and I've broken two bowls, two plates and a mug. It was a gifted set from Costco and I've bought a few lookalike replacement pieces from Ross and Walmart. Decidedly not fancy! lamariniere on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488243 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 00:38:46 +0000 lamariniere 2488243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I went through the dinner plate saga this past year. We didn't have a registry when we got married (eloped) and so we had a mashup of dishes (mostly ikea). But as time went on, a few pieces broke so we only had 5 matching plates of the plates I liked, which made me a bit crazy. Also, not all of our plates fit properly in the dishwasher. (Yes, I know, first world problems all the way). I hunted for months for simple white plates with specific dimensions so that they would fit in the dishwasher. I finally found them and ordered 12, the brand is Villeroy & Bosch. I don't care about buying whole sets of matching dishes, I just wanted enough matching plates. turquoisemama on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488204 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 22:53:19 +0000 turquoisemama 2488204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just got new dishes yesterday but I always go to Ikea. It was 19.99 for service for 6. They do get scratched after 3-4 years but I like to change it up anyway. pastemoo on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488148 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:49:35 +0000 pastemoo 2488148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Raindrop: Well, with DS growing up, we got an IKEA plastic set in the last couple years. The rest is since our wedding, so 5 years. The flatware has been mine since 2002. :o hb3233 on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488147 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:48:01 +0000 hb3233 2488147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm pretty sure my parents are still using the dishes they got as a wedding present in 1978. lol, I guess now they are totally vintage... My dishes are a random combination of cheap stuff DH and I had when single and stuff that a roommate left when she moved to Europe. Apparently i take after my mother. I should probably follow this thread :wink: ladybee on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488130 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:17:38 +0000 ladybee 2488130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We registered for dishes from The Food Network line at Kohls. I have a lot from this line and I love it. It's reasonably priced and such good quality. skipra on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488129 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 21:15:21 +0000 skipra 2488129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We still use the everyday set we got for our wedding but originally we had service for 12 and now we have like 6 bowls, 8 little plates, 2 mugs. The big plates don't really fit in the dishwasher so we barely use them. I prefer all white dishes now. I bought 8 white mugs from the Cellar line at Macy's. I love them and will buy the rest of the set as we need it. For now, we have just enough dishes to fill the dishwasher so it works fine but I am clumsy so I imagine we will replace them all within a few years. We've had our current set nearly 6 years. avivoca on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488116 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:56:21 +0000 avivoca 2488116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our everyday stuff is from Ikea. I love the aqua color! We've had it for about 3 years now and it's still good as new. We got hand me down dishes for our wedding and we also have service for 12 in our china.

I don't see us replacing them anytime soon. We have the Mikasa Antique White pattern. We have only broken one plate after it was dropped on the kitchen floor, and none of the remaining dishes have any chips. They were fairly inexpensive, and they are simple and pretty. I love all white dishes. mfa_lady on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488102 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:41:27 +0000 mfa_lady 2488102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'd suggest Fiestaware, too! Places like Macy's and Kohl's often have really good deals on place settings. We have about a million place settings from our wedding registry and a couple years after when they released a new color I fell in love with. :) Mrs. Lemon-Lime on "How often to do you change your dishware?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-to-do-you-change-your-dishware#post-2488097 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:36:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2488097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have two sets, the one we use all the time is from Crate + Barrel. Nothing fancy. I kept the set I had from when I was single and those are only used when I entertain and need extra small scale serveware.
