Hi everyone! I need your help. The following photos are groupings of decorative glass plates that will be hung on a wall. They are quite large…approximately 6 feet wide by 4 feet high (the total grouping.) I have moved these plates for a total of about 5 hours (and boy does my body know it!)
I have narrowed it down to the following four photos (down from the gazillion I looked at!) and would like to put it out there and see what grouping “talks” to you. So…if you don’t mind…let me know which is your favorite.
And I can’t quite promise that I won’t put up the rest of the gazillion! 🙂

Fun stuff Lorrie; crowdsourcing your decorations. I would like to move them around in person to see & feel the best grouping. I like 1 or 2, and might arrange them slightly differently, but I definitely like the spiral plate as the focal point. 🙂
LikeLike
Brad!! I wish you were here to move them around!!! Hehe! The two largest ones sit flat on the ground…but the others have a 1.5″ diameter piece of glass sticking out (that is how you mount them) so I have to place 3 tennis balls underneath to balance the plates! So moving them has been an act of juggling, balancing, and working out!!
Thanks for your input…when you say you would arrange them differently did you have something in mind? or just in general? Thanks!! ❤

Hi Lorrie. Nice glass pieces you have here. Are they going up in your place? I would have to say 1 or 2, because the biggest one seems to make sense in the middle, or as the focal point. Actually, looking at it again, I think 2 works best. It seems most harmonious as a cluster.
Let us know which you chose ok.

Hi Staci! Thank you so much!! Yes…they will go on a main wall (I am really praying it works…that it will not look too big!) A friend gave them to me as she couldn’t use them…she knows how much I adore them. So happens the colors will work in the room 🙂 It will be quite the job getting them all up on the wall…as the placement is “tight” where I have them overlapping. But I will believe that it will work out beautifully and I will get to enjoy this most generous present!!! Thanks for your opinion….I will let you know! Hope you are super! ❤

#4 is my favorite. I like the way the large yellow plate is on the bottom and to the right. I also really like the aquamarine plate with the golden center being displayed above it. The other arrangements have bolder colored plates arranged in a way that seems to overpower that plate a little.

I read some of your earlier posts today. Then I went to my Mom’s and she had an article written by her brother that she wanted me to read. I felt like I was reading your posts again!! Something happened and I didn’t get to check the facts…but my Uncle was enlisted and went to NC for training…He jumped out of gliders….I will check the facts and get back to you. But it was kind of bizarre…I don’t usually read about war times…and then to read two stories today that were so similar. Maybe they knew each other…?

I’m too late to vote but I did see where the plates came from which I was curious about. They are stunning! They look hand made which would be even better.

Not wanting to be swayed by any other opinion, I skipped the earlier comments just so I could cast my completely uninfluenced vote for #2. It has something to do with the large orange and yellow plate jumping off the screen at me.

I like the fourth choice. Three plates with blue accents make a triangle around the rest and the ones with the least amount of design are centralized. This seems the most balanced arrangement to me. It forces one to look equally at the variety.

Hi Daniel!! Welcome 🙂 Thank you so much for expressing your opinion so wonderfully!! I really loved when people were able to tell me WHY they chose the pattern they did. Your ideas were very detailed and I see what you are saying. I am absolutely crazy because I was all set to install the plates and then my life exploded. It will be quite a while before I am able to get them on the wall…but as soon as I do I will write a post about it! Thanks for stopping by & for voting!! 🙂
