Last night, while unloading the dishwasher, I realized that our 12-year old everyday china and glasses have become pretty scratched up. Some are chipped too. I usually don't pay attention to things like that and for that reason I have a tendency to let things go well passed their prime before replacing them. Now I'm embarrassed to have recently entertained guests with such tatty dinnerware.
What about you? Do you replace things as soon as they start looking worn or do you just live with items until they are not functional anymore, even if they have a less than desirable appearance?
