I am especially drawn to white plates on charcoal walls.  So classic, yet very modern.

For a year, I have been picking up vintage and antique plates as I find ones that are interesting to me.  It is a small collection, and I finally finished my project!  Come back next week for the reveal, plus the step-by-step tutorial to get the shape you want, and what I think is the best way to put them on the wall.

Is there room in your home for a plate collection?  Which type of design is your favorite?
