Is anyone else sick of those black iron plate racks? And in all of my scourings of magazines and blogs, I haven't really found very many good ideas I could steal for plate racks. My sister suggested using an old crate but my space was too small for that. Then I remembered these old soda crates were in my garage. I found them at a garage sale in Gilbert for $15 for all 3 (the other one is being used as a planter in my front yard). I used staples to hold the plates in place and screwed the crates directly onto the wall.
Yes! Those old plate racks are ugly! Those ones you have here are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh!!! That is so amazing. I'm keeping my eye out for soda crates.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!

I found your site through Better After. You have so many great projects and ideas! I love it!! = )
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those! My Coke crates have dividers in them - I'm going to be on the lookout for some like these! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. Where did you get the plates? Love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this awesome project, I really like it-- lots of impact from a little thing!
ReplyDeleteI got the plates at ross. They were on super clearance and had the black outline I wanted, I just had some vinyl numbers cut out and put them on the plates. Not such a big deal because I'm not really planning on eating off of them.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I love the crates, the plates and the way everything is displayed! Looks great!!

Those look so cool! You mentioned Gilbert - are you in Iowa, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteOh! I just came over from Funky Junk--via All Things Home. . . I saw your idea and thought it would look SO cute out on a porch with an address! And I have some cracked plates I didn't want to throw out. Thanks for the great idea! Blessings!
