I love plates.
I love plates of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I love plates holding sweet vintage items, like antique keys or old postcards. And I love plates displayed on the wall like art.
I really love these bright pink, yellow, and green plates against the baby blue wall. It really makes the colors pop.
Viceroy Hotel – Santa Monica, CA
My husband is a little less enamored with my new display. He thinks there is too much white (I think I need the white to break up the heavily patterned transferware.), that it’s not symmetric (I like that it’s not symmetric, but it’s funny that he thinks this display is now ‘complete’…it’s eventually going to fill the entire wall), and that it’s going to fall on his head in the middle of the night (Well, that’s what he gets for allowing me to hang them by myself.).
Plus, he supported the habit by giving me my favorite piece for Valentine’s Day – the red and white Watteau platter from Woods Burslem. Love, love, love! I saw it in my favorite antique shop and pointed it out to him – and he secretly bought it for me! That’s love right there.
I am giving away this set from my personal collection for my very first blog giveaway. These plates were going to hang in my sewing room, but I’ve decided I’d rather you have them (Let’s face it – I’m sure I’ll be buying more in the near future and this gives me a great excuse).

I LOVE your collection of plates over your bed, what a great idea! I showed my husband the picture because I love your headboard too! (He doesn’t get the whole plates on the bedroom wall thing…good thing he just goes with the flow, lol). Please include my name in your give-away.

This is my first visit to your blog and I love all the pics of plate collections. I would love to do this in my kitchen!
Love the plates! I have been collecting plates for 10 years and they are ceiling to floor in my little yellow powder bath, looks precious. And then I have groupings throughout the house.
Your bedroom looks great. Love the colors!
I will start following you now!
Oh! And all my 50 plates were hanging above our master bed as well, for the past 5 years. I just recently hung them in the powder bath. Needed a change. But can you say, nail holes? Uh-oh.
Wow, what a creative idea. I actually never thought I would like this style but after seeing many people decorate this way I have found a new love for this. So unique, creative and I love the statement it makes. I wold love to be apart of your drawing.
The plates look great! I love the red and white platter. What a perfect gift.
I super heart your blog!!! Must have those plates… I’m a little obsessed over plates myself
I have enter almost all options!
Great blog!
Hi Lindsay – I just unassumingly followed my pal Nani (above) over here & had to do a double-take @ your profile-blurb… twin? LOL – lovely to "meet you"! Stop by anytime – we can compare tiaras & rate our favorite "Britneys" (pre through post melt-down)…
xo
I love your plate wall above your bed!!! This is my first visit to your blog…love it!!
Love the plates. Would look great almost anywhere in my house

Hi, Lindsay, thanks for stopping by. I'm a plate lover too, so count me in the giveaway. I love your bedroom, so pretty. You've done a great job with it. I collect white creamware/ironstone pieces & love, love the white. I'll go & follow you on Twitter right now, so I get an extra chance!
That is gorgeous, my Grandma collected plates & I still have some of them. My Papa used to laugh and say the walls were going to "cave in" because she had so many~everywhere they vacationed she'd bring home a new plate. Before she passed, she wrote people's names on the back for whom she intended to give them to after her death. I have several cherished memories in the plates I received. That was sooo sweet of dh to secretly go back & buy that plate for you, how heartwarming!
I enjoy plates, too. And I know I would enjoy winning yours!

Well, Lindsay, I finally figured out how to post here. Thanks for the instructions! I can’t believe I didn’t see that friend thing before. I only noticed the email button, and that wasn’t working. So, as you know, your plate photos were just the inspiration I needed to get mine off the table and on the wall–that and finding enough plate hangers. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post my finished wall in just a day or so. Love your blog and will be back!
I love the plates! I want to start this…haven’t done it before. I’d love to hear more about the plate collection? Where is the best place to find the wall hangers? Do you collect any and all plates? Only certain kinds? LOVE IT!! I’d love to win!
Love the plates. Blue and White is a favorite combo of mine! Your bedroom is beautiful!
Cool post. I love decorative plate.
Stay chic!
Gorgeous!!
I’m following you on twitter.
I love, love, love the plates. I need to work on my collection though!! I will follow your blog now & join your fan page too!

Hi! I love your blog and am so happy to have found you through the Nester!
Oooo I love your display. I like the mix of all the different kinds of plates. It makes it so young and modern when it could easily be dowdy old lady!
beautiful! I love your eclectic arrangement above your bed–it looks like a decorating mag picture! And I’m excited to enter!
It's a long shot, but here goes!
I've never hung a plate on my wall, but I find myself keeping pics that I love, and I'm realizing they have plates above their beds!!!
OMG – what great finds today! (your blog & that inspirational moment in my head!)
Great giveaway and ideas! I love your headboard too!
I am just recently coming around to the love of plates maybe its because my husband has been pushing plates on me for a few years but they were all UGLY!! I do love all the white plates i have seen around hanging on walls.
I just followed…love the plates. I have a couple in my daughter’s room…there were 3 but Someone was jumping on the bed and managed to knock one off and break it, so I have to glue it back together and apparently get better hangers. I’m starting to collect some to put over our sorry excuse for a bed…my dearest hubby is a custom cabinet and furniture maker…and I have no headboard….;/ go figure. But I do have quite a few blue and white pieces and I’m adding more…….
I love your ideas!!!
