Dish it up!

A few months ago I featured a post about decorating with plates and dishes.  It's such a charming trend that I want to revisit the subject with a selection of new, inspirational photos.

Whether you choose to hang matching plates or mis-matched ones, beautiful plates are works of art and deserve a place of prominence in your decor.

Plentiful and inexpensive, vintage china plates and platters can be found in abundance at thrift shops, flea markets and yard sales.

 I love the fact that they included little dishes, too.

I've got to admit - this scheme confuses me a little.
LOVE the sofa but am a little put off by the plate selection.

Fragile, antique china that you might not want to use

at a dinner party would look beautiful as decorating accents.

Regardless of what kind of treasures you display, check with your

local hardware store for the strongest and most durable plate

hanging hardware options.

Here are a couple of YouTube videos on hanging plates:
