I absolutely adore this new line that the Pioneer Woman has at Walmart. Every time I walk into Walmart (which is often) Her new line greets me practically at the door. I admit, the first few times I kept on walking because clearly, I do not need anything related to dishes and cookware. Yesterday, I picked up the dishes, turned them over, rubbed my hands around them, and put them down and went about my business. This morning I woke up and said, I know exactly what I can do with a few of those pretty dishes. So off I went back to Wally world. Seriously, the place should be paying me some sort of commission. Today, I am sharing all about Decorating with plates.
You can’t beat inexpensive things used creatively, a few odd-lots plates, add a pop of color and interest to any wall or in my case, back splash.
For centuries, people have hung plates on walls for decoration.
Even in the LeBain as shown below.

Here is a flashback of our bedroom wall. I think this dates back at least 5 years ago.
Our master bedroom sure has changed since then.
I recall back in 2010 writing a post all about decorating with plates. You can go back for the read, I guarantee it’s horribly written and the pictures I am sure are terrible. I don’t even want to go look LOL! But if I recall, it was about an experience I had on a decorating site called Rate my space. Some random user of the site pretty much blasted me for decorating with plates. They sure could be mean on that site. Hence, I took up blogging instead and got off there. So did many of my friends you may know and are familiar with today. Kim, from Savvy Southern style, Anita from Far above rubies, just to name a few. They have beautiful blogs and gorgeous style. We all met on that site, and started our blogs almost at the same time.
RMS didn’t like it, but I do post here.
Now onto today’s post:)
Pioneer woman dishes 
And of course the little cow creamer 
I love the scalloped edges and all the pretty detail. Each plate is hand made, and all unique in color variation. No two are the same. Which I love!
Nothing too exciting otherwise going on around here. I will be having a mess here soon as we are gutting out the master bathroom here shortly. I was hosting bunco this evening and the gals are always anxious to see what has changed around here. This was my big change. Funny is, I don’t even think they noticed HA!
They were too busy looking at the barnwood pantry door, which I had no idea they would open it. ACK! It’s a mess in there.
It’s on my list to clean and organize soon.
Soon the pumpkins will be rotting, and off to the next season. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. My Mom and sister come every year and we have such a nice week. It will be nice to have our son home again too for the Holiday.
That’s about all I have for today.
Thanks for stopping over today.
If you are new here, please stay awhile and browse some other projects, crafts and recipes I have.

I love all of your cute new accents! I started blogging in 2010 and probably ‘met’ you back then though I never was on rate my space. That barn door pantry is amazing! You’re always doing such great improvements to your home!
Thanks Heather! Yes, I remember meeting you back in 2010. Seems forever ago:)
I have seen the commercials for her products at Wal-Mart….after seeing these, I need to make a trip. Love the dishes over the stove…How did you hang them?…Command hooks?
Yes, I have a wire plate hanger and against my better judgement (based on past bad experience) I used the command hooks:) Let’s hope they stay.
I remember that bedroom!!! lol I have been looking at those plates at Walmart, too. I just love all her stuff and at Walmart, of all places!!! I think she is usurping Martha Stewart!
Have a wonderful weekend, Debbie Doo! xo Diana
Beautiful plates!
I have been a following for centuries it seems…..
Loved your knock offs, decorating with $$ store, burlap….on so on…..
Yes!!~ I will be having a Christmas dollar tree party again this year.
So pretty Debbie, I have a thing for bowls 🙂 Ha-ha I purchase new and get rid of something I’m not fond of anymore but it’s a vicious cycle. I have her soup bowls and love the color and patterns.
I wanted them all LOL!!
Love everything and the colors. I particularly like the chicken wire rooster basket with the pumpkins and the measuring cups et al by the stove. I could use something handy like this in my small kitchen….
Thank you! My friend just gave me that rooster basket. My husband bought me the measuring cup hanger
I had to laugh when you said you walked by the first time, touched the plates the 2nd time, and bought some the 3rd time. I’m the same way. I try to avoid that aisle at our WalMart because I just know I am going to buy some of her cute things!!!
I caved! I just couldn’t help myself. I have no self control apparently HAHAHA!
Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, I totally agree! I love these products from The Pioneer Woman. I bought the Jadeite looking cake stand, which they’ve pulled off the shelves because some were not made well, mine seems to be fine. Bought the little white creamer with flowers all over it. I’ve got to get back and get some dishes! Do I need them, no, no, Nannette, but I want them.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia 😉
I did not see that jadeite ever! I am happy yours is holding up well though.
Cute cute cute!
I made myself walk by too, but they really are too dang pretty.
Love the plate wall and the bowl and scale!!
Debbie Doo, I’m a dishaholic! I love the Pioneer Woman’s new collection. Every time I go to Walmart, I find myself in that isle. I can’t help myself! I want all of it! The problem is where to store everything I want to buy! I’ve been good, I haven’t bought anything yet, until your post today! You gave me an idea! I’m going to switch out the dishes in my plate rack hanging in my kitchen. That is, after Halloween. I’m making a trip today! Soo excited!
There you go Nancie! That is a fabulous idea.Enjoy.
Hey Debbie, I was in wm this morn and saw your beautiful dishes (just inside the door). They are very nice; the three ‘framed’ plates’ look very ritzy!!
That barn door is awesome; sorry, but I’d have of open it too!!
Have a good week end.
Carol
LOL!!! Yes, I know I get it now. Just wish I would have thought of that before hand HA! Now everyone knows how really unorganized I am.
Love, love, love The Pioneer Woman’s new dishes! Love the three of them together!
Thank you! They are sooooo pretty. I want them all.
OMG, I didn’t realize how many folks out there were in love with the WM Pioneer Woman’s dishes. I adore them. AND I adore your barn pantry door. amazing. Can I copy or print up the picture; I want my SIL to make me one
Sure go ahead:) Good luck.
Such beautiful plate arrangements! And, I’ve walked by the Pioneer Woman dish collection in Walmart several times without buying any, but am weakening each time I visit! The quality is impressive and the patterns are so cheerful and colorful. You’ve inspired me!
Wonderful Carolyn! Enjoy. How can you just keep walking by?..you can’t lol.
Can you tell me in detail how you hung the plates on the tile wall? I have also used Command wiithout luck getting it to stick to tile. Also, where did you purchase the plate hangers?? Thanks so much! Love your ideas.
The plate hangers I found at Walmart. They sell them at places like Lowes, and Home depot as well. I used the the tiny clear tabs that have a hook on them..the sticky ones. I think 3m makes those as well. I actually used hot glue to put them on the tile. It held up better than just the sticky.
