Wall Plate Display.....

A couple of weeks ago, I landed a box of assorted platters to put into my Lucketts space.  In it were a pair of these guys:

 

I know, I know....this platter is not the prettiest.  Even my mom, goes "I would never have thought you would have picked that up,"  but for some reason I liked them.  I think it is the coloring.  I put both of them in my space, and then took the one home.  Which lead my to looking up plate wall inspiration.  I have never been interested in doing one, but these got me excited:

A few days later, I am going through my cabinets picking through plates and platters that I bought over the years. I ended up with mostly ironstone. I picked up a couple of plate mounting hooks and decided to hang them in the corner of my dining room:

 

Dining Room space before:

I simply laid the plates I had on the floor to figure out an arrangement that I liked.  I knew I wanted something simple and could edit later if I wanted to:

 

Then I attached few plate hangers.  Now, I will say...these things are not my favorite.  Close up you can see the tops of them and they are a pain in the ass.  For .50 cents a piece, I will limit my complaining.  I would suggest plate discs for any future plate walls.  Also, I suggest not rushing.  I, of course, had to do some touch up paint because I was too lazy to measure.
