A couple of years ago I needed more art for my walls. We had just moved into a larger house from a very small house and everything was bare. I wasn’t sure what style I wanted my house to be, but I love a mix of old and new. My talent lies in being able to create a unique curated feel. My home needs to to be warm, cozy and speak “the story of us”.
Because I am a minimalist, and try to live simply, I didn’t want to just go and buy any old trendy thing to hang and call it good. After looking around online I decided to hang up plates on my wall. This wall is right in the dining area and its is awkward since it spans two living areas with multiple doors. Plates seemed like an affordable and practical option, that would be on theme for the room.
Once I got the plate bug I spent a couple of weekends frequenting vintage flea markets and thrift stores. I only purchased plates that were beautiful, plates that filled my heart with joy. I ended up with a stack of about 20 plates.
