My grandmother and aunts proudly lined every square inch of their kitchen walls with souvenir plates from their travels- quality kitchen decor of the times.

Don’t let a bare wall take a “tole” on your kitchen wall display ideas.
Vintage tole, pewter and silver trays in assorted shapes and colors are highly collectible, and although the design characteristics and sizes can be similar, no two tole trays are exactly the same.
Copper pots and pans as well as vintage bread and cutting boards never fail to impress or bring the ooh la la look to any kitchen decor.
Dress them up, dress them down- copper is a decorative chameleon, and there is something so basically beautiful and uniquely utilitarian about bread and cutting boards.

How are large tole trays hung on wall. I haven’t found anything to hold the weight.
Hi Laura,
I use plate hangers rated for large plates. If the tray is super extra large, a quick switch out of the springs will give greater extension. Home Depot or Ace Hardware have them in stock. I trust the plate hangers to hold the weight. Hope this helps!
