Pewter Platters 

Yes that's right , Grandmas platters are hip !

So many of us have a few of these old platters hanging around that we always say that we will use at Christmas and never do.

These timeless and often heirloom pieces can be used a very modern and fresh way. Take a look at the picture and notice the size and the placement in the room. the platters draw your eye over to an oversize brushed stainless gas stove adorned with a farmhouse style cooker vent. The accents of the platters creates a beautiful focal point to the room . While the overall feel of the kitchen is a classic farmhouse it has a modern and fresh vibe. What a beautiful balance between new and old.


Have fun with your style and designs. Always think outside of the box. What a fun idea to put circular items arranged in a square. This is a very chic look . If you have any platters hanging around try this. Here is a tip - get a large sheet of paper or construction board and tape them over your wall and use that as a template. you can draw around the edge of your platters and see the exact placement.  If you don't like the arrangement you can just simply put up a new piece of paper and start over .
