Dining Room Decor

I have been collecting random plates for a loooong time. I love the way they look when hung on walls.

I thought it might be too girlie or not nice enough for a grown up house.

Until a couple of weeks ago. And then I decided that one of the walls in our dining room needed these plates. And they look great! Why in the world had I left these packed up in the garage? The navy walls make for a perfect background for the plates to really POP. This is a growing collection, as as soon as I get 3 more I will add another row.
