I absolutely adore a collection of plates hanging on the wall.
So I always knew I wanted to create a plate display in our dining room.
I have been collecting cute plates for quite a while now.
I decided my collection was complete after picking up these two beauties from Ikea.
I even bought special plate hangers just for these two plates because I wanted to make sure that they were up on the wall safe.
As for all of the other plates, I wasn’t too protected of them since most of them just came from the thrift store.
I found this idea on Pinterest where you use Gorilla tape and paper clips to create your own plate hanger.
“Genius” I said to myself.
I had gotten all of the plates hung up on the wall and loved the look.
It was just what I was hoping for. But then…..
Crash!!!!
Apparently the Gorilla tape and paper clip didn’t work so well….Not such a genius idea after all.
But the sad part is – not only did I loose one of the thrift store ‘no-big-deal plates’, but it also took my large pretty Ikea plate with it. I was super sad!
But once I wiped away the tears, I searched my cupboards for a back up plan, and this is what I came up with:
I think it still turned out great, and it kept with the idea I was going for. The difference being the blue bunt pan that I think now adds a little more charm, and a large white plate that keeps the look simple.
Note: All plates are now hung by plate hangers 🙂
I think the little blue stool that I painted recently ties in perfectly now.
I am actually going to get a new-old table. My mother in law just moved and we have decided to swap tables. This one will fit into her kitchen perfectly and in exchange I will be getting a larger one, that will be great for entertaining. So I’m excited for that.
Thank you all for stopping by today.
If I’m not back by the end of the week, I wish you all a Happy Easter!
