I think the detail of them gets lost on the patterned wallpaper so, for me, it's got to be the yellow!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182285759059917550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439394604107707912.post-44827043932693916812011-01-09T07:12:04.993-04:002011-01-09T07:12:04.993-04:00What a wonderful collection of porcelain ...

If you want sophistication, I think the dark blue, but as you said you wanted pretty, the yellow wins. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01187758225608823908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439394604107707912.post-42220483467716182522011-01-09T03:47:50.230-04:002011-01-09T03:47:50.230-04:00I love the grey, but the china looks beter on the ...I love the grey, but the china looks beter on the yellow I think!

One does picture the dark paneled walls.... and I tend to agree that the china gets lost against the patterned paper. But, with all that said, I LOVE detail and pattern and complexity and I really like the china against the patterned wallpapers! And I really like the ochery goldish one....perhaps because it feels older than the red one!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439394604107707912.post-59020504446692744122011-01-08T18:24:27.127-04:002011-01-08T18:24:27.127-04:00Definitely yellow.

I love seeing it on the wall. As for the colors... I think it get a little lost on the wall paper. My first choice would be the very dark blue my second would be the yellow. Not having seen what else goes in that room...All I am thinking about is the china. I guess it all depends on what sort of mood you want the room to have.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.com
