I use vintage and antique plates where ever I can - from groupings on a wall, to holding soap in the bathroom, to a tray for my soap/stain remover in my laundry room. Here's a link to one of my posts that shows one wall grouping (I haven't blogged about the others - but you have just inspired me to do that!!)<br /><br />http://alliswellathome.blogspot.com/2009/10/these-are-few-of-my-favourite-things.html<br /><br />Your collection is beautiful - thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486575785351760971.post-18667829224142696672010-06-13T12:59:11.704-07:002010-06-13T12:59:11.704-07:00Momma to bug n' bear-

I've seen lots of examples that I love, I say go for it! :) <br /><br />the mounting tape comes in squares or strips, you can get it at craft stores or regular stores like target/wal-mart, grocery store, etc. You will probably find it in the school supply department. I had a few plates hung the same way in my previous home and when it came time to move they came off pretty well, it did pull off some paint, but it was fixable. I did however, have one of my plates fall off in the night last night, I must not have pressed it in hard enough, or I didn't use enough mounting tape... it didn't pull any paint off this time, so I wonder if it just wasn't secure enough...<br /><br />Holly, how long did you have your mounting tape up? Just a theory, but I wonder if the longer you leave it, the more bonded it becomes to your wall? I haven't had any mega damage... but I've used the smallest amounts possible and mine have never been on for very long before taking them off, so I don't know. <br /><br />I think when I remount the one that fell off I might just use some plate hangers I have left over, they were only $1.99 at the Hobby Lobby, I just don't like them to show... but in this case, this particular plate was obviously a bit heavy for the tape...Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146459464266571125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486575785351760971.post-20993209354621430402010-06-12T21:28:53.373-07:002010-06-12T21:28:53.373-07:00Very cute, I love how you use color in all your de...Very cute, I love how you use color in all your decorating, you have an eye for it!<br /><br />Wall mounting tape... the love and pain of my existence. It created mega damage in a room downstairs, and I am dreading taking down some mirrors up here when we move in a few weeks that also use it. It's so great in theory, but I haven't had luck with removal - even using a blowdryer and all. Let me know if you find any handy tricks. :)Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388676650680880194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486575785351760971.post-53966597532259671112010-06-11T12:49:10.531-07:002010-06-11T12:49:10.531-07:00I love your plates - they are so cheery and make t...I love your plates - they are so cheery and make that wall!Laurel @ Ducks in a Rowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03860986450641700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486575785351760971.post-27768103208210557432010-06-11T08:07:33.053-07:002010-06-11T08:07:33.053-07:00I really like this and it came at a good time for ...I really like this and it came at a good time for me as I am in the middle of collecting plates to make a collage above my bed. My husband thinks it is strange to hang plates in our bedroom. Do you think that is crazy or cool? Also, can you tell me more about the 3M tape that you used? I want to hang my plates as inexpensively as possible but also make sure they are not going to fall down.
