I know not why. Temp changes with the seasons? Ye old Floridian humidity? Who knows... But after about six months of hanging there as pretty as you please, plates started randomly dropping off the wall at odd moments and crashing to the floor. I had to take it all down and go back to the wire grabby things. *shrugs* Word to the wise.lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-9658419415653156812015-05-12T17:56:54.929-04:002015-05-12T17:56:54.929-04:00Wow that looks like oh so much work, but the plate...Wow that looks like oh so much work, but the plates look great! :-D Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592274706237574421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-16879575340035621132015-05-12T12:51:02.868-04:002015-05-12T12:51:02.868-04:00This is so beyond gorgeous.

I've been dying to do the same in my dining room, but hanging things + my husband + me = opportunities to, ugh, grow in holiness. :) But I really might just make us go for it. Maybe I'll just make him do the measuring and I do the hanging- that might be my answer!

Sigh. Finally I just decided it was an opportunity for me to grow in holiness or something by letting go of my perfectionism and not demanding we hire an hvac guy to change the whole system just so my photos would turn out better.Dwija {House Unseen}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17887429052179249473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-11208937449813260692015-05-09T20:16:35.357-04:002015-05-09T20:16:35.357-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Janarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099208434329686446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-39815926950999783602015-05-09T20:14:46.736-04:002015-05-09T20:14:46.736-04:00Hey dweej you know how I like to "needle"...Hey dweej you know how I like to "needle" you (someone's gotta do it). But this is a real question that keeps coming back to me every time I see this really lovely plate arrangement. It's that... ummm... thermostat (?) at the bottom. Maybe you've already explained this already, or maybe there's nothing to explain because thermostats are just things that have to be ignored. I can get that: they just "are where they are" and there's no accounting for it? I was just wondering, though... Do you have "a plan" to make that disappear, or something? Redo the whole central heat/air system? I'm just wondering. The dining room looks amazing, really. I can ignore the wall gizmo, but since you worked so hard to arrange these plates with perfect symmetry and then there's the thermostat right below like "one-of-these-things-is-not-like-the-others" ... what is the home decor wisdom on this? I thought you might stick a bowl over it or something ... but that might be against the law, I dunno. What are your thoughts here? :-)John Janarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099208434329686446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-58179736145434294712015-05-09T14:44:34.901-04:002015-05-09T14:44:34.901-04:00I love so much.

I'm sorry! It's just that the easy to remove glue might result in broken plates and the super permanent glue might result in, you know, permanent glue on your plates. So for those I would probably do those hangers with the arms that hug the plates even though they don't look as clean.Dwija {House Unseen}https://www.blogger.com/profile/17887429052179249473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-85727361839538336192015-05-09T08:47:28.097-04:002015-05-09T08:47:28.097-04:00You know I was actually trying to do the paper thi...You know I was actually trying to do the paper thing but as I was tracing, the paper would move, like, a tiny bit and I just knew that if I went through with the whole thing, something would be off and I would have to start all over or not be happy with the results.
