Wall O' Plates

I have been debating on what to do with this one particular wall in my dining room for some time. I had lots of ideas but none that I was all that excited about. With that said, my Mom was going through some old stuff the other day and stumbled across these really neat antique plates that were my grandmother's -I bet some of them were even passed down to her from my great grandmother. She asked me if I wanted them and of course I said yes- I love things like that. Then it hit me-hang the plates in your dining room. And just like that, decorating dilemma solved. So, I went and got some plate hangers from Hobby Lobby and hung them today. I love them and plan on finding more to add to my collection. Thanks Mom! I guess I should also mention that I have a beautiful mirror hanging on another wall in my dining room that was also my grandmother's. I love it -it reminds me of her. Anywho-here's the plates and the mirror-whatcha think? (Again, sorry the pics are blurry-taken with the phone)

I bought the bird plate at Pier1- not an antique, but I loved it and thought it would look cute.

Pardon the towel-I was trying to figure out how I wanted to arrange the plates and I didn't want them to scratch the table, ha.

P.S. Its only been a few days since my last post...pretty good, huh?
