Decorating with plates # 1

How about opening that cabinet where you keep your grandma's plates and put them on display around the house? Stashed away you might only use them once or twice a year and maybe not even then because they're too good to get chipped while washing. On the other hand, plates don't have to be priceless or vintage... everyday plates and tableware are an affordable way to add a custom touch to your rooms.
This is the first of a series of three on decorating with plates.

Here are some ideas on how to display your plates.

    Love all of the inspiring plate ideas. My favorite is the one with all of the colorful plates from Belle Maison.

    Lots of good ideas for displaying plates :-) The set of "favourite things" plates is cute :-)

    I agree, we should use our good china and other pieces that are special to us -- much better to enjoy them and risk a chip or two than pack them away in boxes where we can't see them to keep them safe.

    Thanks Fifi and Kelly for your comments. It's so true! You should make the most of the things you have, use them, show them, enjoy them!
