Lately, I have been drooling over plate groupings. There is something so classic and clean about it but with the right plates and shapes, you can make a plate hanging super modern too. A few years ago, we were shopping at Moynihan Gallery (one of my favorite stops in Holland, MI) and they had taken a large collection of flower shaped monochromatic plates in all sizes and hung them down a wall that was so impressive. So like I said, I've been drooling.
Since we've decided we are going to repaint the dining room, I thought we'd update the artwork while we were at it. Can you take a wild guess what I'm going to hang over the buffet? I wanted to flat out copy the first photo but have had some serious trouble finding an octagonal platter (rectangle not square) that was large enough and wasn't going to cost us a hundred bucks. So I've adapted my plan a bit and will pick up my last few platters today or tomorrow.
I'm also going to cover the existing curtains that are in the room. They're the perfect length and have the perfect amount of opacity. I'd have a lot of work to do to get my fabric to have the same look, so I'm just going to sew my fabric on top of the existing stuff. We're also in desperate need of a rug in that room, but hate paying for a rug big enough for our table, so I'm making one out of carpet tiles from work. Here's hoping I can make it work because I typically don't love the FLOR rug look.
