Decorating With Plates

I have wanted to decorate with plates for a while now, after seeing this become so trendy and seeing how so many people are using them in their living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms even bathrooms I just know I need to try it!  I have some very blank walls in my living room/dining area that I need to spruce up so I think the hunt will be on soon for some beautiful plates.  In the meantime I had been searching all over the net to get ideas and came across some beautiful rooms with plates as a focal point.  Check it out!

I love, love, love this!!!! Did I say how much I love it! But way out of my budget at $599 for the set at Room Service Home.com http://www.roomservicehome.com/productsl2.asp?dept=255.  I hope that I can figure out a less expensive way to do something similar because I am in love with this look

Love this idea from Countryliving.com

From recovergirl.wordpress.com

Another one I love from Countryliving.com, I love black and white sooo much!

From casasugar.com, love this blue and white combination!

From apartmenttherapy.com member Katie, love the bright colors!

Can't remember where I got this one but I really like the contrast of green against the teal walls

And finally this one from HGTV.com which I love especially since it's a diy job that started with clear glass plates! they spray painted them a shiny chrome first I beleive and then sponged on the red shade... 

Anyway thanks for check my blog out, once I finish my plate wall I'll be posting another inspiration to creation!
