Vintage plates and trays can be found at almost all thrift stores, antique shops, yard sales and even Grandmother's house. This is a very affordable and easy way to decorate with vintage. It is sometimes called cottage decorating.
You may choose a theme such as blue willow plates. Any shapes or sizes of plates can be used as long as they are not to thick; which equals heavy. Vintage trays actually don't weigh very much and hang well with this a paper clip wall hook.
You may grow your plate wall from floor to ceiling if you like and I might end up filling my wall as well. I display my vintage serving trays in my kitchen and my vintage plates in my dining room.
