Antique Plate Wall Display

I have this great client. So easy and fun to work with. She bought her new home and we have been slowly making it her own. We did a big paint job on the entire home. Literally not leaving a wall untouched. The paint colors we used will be in an upcoming post so don’t worry.

Anyhoo, in her garage there was an antique secretary desk, they were not sure where it should go. She also had begun a beautiful collection of antique plates. I knew right away I wanted to put these two things together to create a focal point in her living room. This wall is also visible upon entering the home. Before jumping on it, here are a couple of inspirational pics I found. What I liked about these sources was the intentional lack of symmetry and perfection. If you know me, I try to have a little fun at my clients homes and not make it look so “staged!”

So another option are these adhesive plate disc’s that come in 5 different sizes. They aren’t bad and work well, but, there is no way I am attaching these adhesive disc’s to my clients antique plates, many of which are of great value as they are Antique English Willow Plates 

The third option, which I prefer are the old school plate wires. Attached correctly, you know that your kids can literally run/jump around the house and they are not falling off the wall. They also do no damage to the plate and lastly, they sell them with clear attachment so basically, it is almost invisible.

So now to my clients wall. I haven’t had my “professional” pictures done yet so don’t judge.
