Kitchen Cabinet Plate Gallery

 Today, we are joining Diann at The Thrifty Groove for "Thrifty Things Friday." Also joining Cindy's Friday "Show and Tell" at My Romantic Home.

Since painting the kitchen walls in pale yellow, called "Morning Sunshine,"  a liking for blue and white patterned plates, sometimes with a touch of yellow,  has grown to large proportions.

Some of the found plates, such as the one above, are from Poland and have rather zany designs.  Other plates have floral motifs. 

A problem with the plates occurred. There was no more room in the pantry to store them. Shelves  and cabinets reached full capacity. A solution had to be found.

One day, while glancing up at the new kitchen cabinets, a thought came to mind.

      "Why not make the tops of the cabinets into a little art gallery?"

Each plate was placed on holders, purchased at the Christmas Tree Shops, and carefully arranged on top of the cabinets. Do you think they look pretty good?

Here's a very pretty thrifted soup server.

The one glass paned cabinet started to look messy with its assortment of spices and so forth. So a lacy table runner got taped inside the door and it lends a nice look to the glass panes.

DO YOU DISPLAY ART IN YOUR KITCHEN?
