Hanging Plates ~
Good Morning,
The weather has been soo good! I just wish the humidity would stay away. I am looking forward to the weekend. I will be attending an outdoor antique fair on Saturday. This will be my first time going and I am hoping to find a blue and white chair or a floral arm chair for my downtown office. Wish me luck!
Speaking of new things, I remember some years ago I watched a video from Martha Stewart about hanging plates and ever since I saw that video I knew that I wanted to try it some day. I could never find any plate wall hangers and I couldn’t really afford to buy a bunch of plates and honestly had no inspiration. But now with Pinterest, bloggers, and Instagram the inspiration is just over flowing. I went antiquing a few weeks ago and found this platter below…..

I paid about $35 for it. It’s quite large and the colors were perfect for my home decor. I loved the blue, white, and gold. It has beautiful details and the size… I could not pass it up.
I searched Amazon and found this super plate hanger for large platters. There are so many options but I wanted something that I knew would fit my platter and this was a perfect fit! It comes in a pack of two and the price was outstanding as well.
I decided to hang it in our bedroom next to our mirror. Now I don’t have a platter on the other side and it might look unbalanced but I love the platter here. For some reason it just looks so good to me here. I may move it down the road but for now I am loving it in this spot.
Please let me know in the comments section below if you have plates hanging on your wall in your home. Oh and I wanted to let everyone know that the boutique will have a new arrival soon! Have a great weekend!
Several years ago I saw a blog post by Driven by Design on how to hang plates on the wall and I thought it was such a fabulous idea. I wanted to try it out in my home. Unfortunately I had to move so I was able to do the large gallery style plate wall I desired. I may do it with 1 or 2 plates. I think it’s lovely. I do like your platter. Such a pretty pattern.
I certainly hope you enjoy your outdoor antique fair. It sounds like it would be fun. This is will my last busy weekend for a while. I’ll be having surgery on Monday so I’m headed to the very large international farmers market, to see what goodies I can find. I’m excited about that. Hopefully the muggy humid weather can stay away for a while so you can enjoy the antique fair. We are roasting in GA. Triple digits and triple H’s. Hazy, hot and humid? I’ve been drinking my cucumber, mint, lemon water lately to help with get my water in? I can’t get in my minds eye what an outdoor antique fair looks like. If you can take photos. Enjoy your weekend Mrs Shockley. ???
I think one or two plates is a really good start. That’s where I was going to begin and see how I end up.
I hope your surgery goes well. Your visit to the International Farmers Market sounds fun and educational. I bet you will learn all kinds of things there!
Funny you mention fruit water. I was just about to pull out my pitcher and start my fruit water for the summer!
