Talk about a cool way to hang all those plates you collect… yeah, you know you buy them all up at the Sixth Avenue flea market every Sunday reminiscing about how it reminds you of your sweet granny in Normandy. Wait, what? Anyway, I worked at a bar called Marions Continental Restaurant and Lounge, and they got every celebrity (from Lichtenstein to Matt Dillon) to sign a plate before leaving. They used to have them all over the walls by the bar. I have since heard that they took it all down and painted the place beige. This presentation I found on apartmenttherapy.com of plates reminded me of that…

As much as I loathe “shabby chic” this really works in any type of designed room.

Continuing the trend of trying to make “shabby chic” work for designers, I like this fun chandelier shadow as well by atelierbbb.com.
