secret of domestic bliss #19...perfecting the art of decorating with your dishware

I know we have seen this time and time again, but honestly I want everyone to know what an impact displaying your dishes can do for your home.
It is just a shame to keep beautiful dish ware hidden and out of sight.
How fantastic would it be to create an art like focal point loaded with loving treasures?
Perhaps they are from a relative and passed down through generations or even just from a fun store, all in your favorite colors...it all can look very heavenly.
No matter how or where you decide to display them, just make sure you do it with love.
DON'T be intimated on hanging them. I love to use dischangers, they make it super easy! 
Feast your eyes on these favorites of mine for some inspiration!


This might be my favorite photo...aren't these historical dishes so adorable?

I ate at a wonderful restaurant which had some gorgeous dishes with fish painted on them hanging on the wall, and I though I don't remember much about the meal, I've never forgotten those plates!

I'm with you on the George and Martha dishes -- Love the contrast they create with the hot pink wallpaper! That's totally something I would do (minus the painted bust, which is a little creepy). Hmmm ...
