Displaying Antique Dishes


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.
