I have a weakness for antique dishes and not nearly enough surfaces to display them. I liked the idea of having them on my kitchen wall but didn't want to use a traditional wall mount.
I got the idea from a bakery in Toronto called Bobette and Belle to have the plates grouped together on a different background. They mounted theirs on a chalkboard surface. I chose a sand coloured linen and inexpensive white frames. I hot glued the bowls and plates to the linen. This way should I ever decide to take the bowls/plates off, I can simply peel the glue from the backs of the dishes without damaging them.
I also created some small frames and a bulletin board - all white frames with a linen background. Having these mounted on picture railing allowed me to also include some small decorative items along with the frames.
I thought it was a fun and modern way to display my antiques and collectibles.
