Plates on Walls

I've been seeing this trend a lot recently... from other design blogs, to Real Simple, to actual apartments I've been in. However, wherever I happen to see this technique, it always manages to look completely original and unique to its space. Saw some of these trends on Living Small and Design Shrine. I really love this idea of a "flock" of plates strewn across a wall. Apartment Therapy has a really beautiful example and shows you how you can create your own wall art.
