The Thomas Kinkade painting is an original and was a gift from my FIL our first Christmas in this house, so it has to stay. So working with it I added these two new sconces from Ballards and some blue transferware plates that I found in a local antique shop. The man that was selling the plates gave them all to me for $25!

Wow, you got a great deal on those plates, and they look so pretty with the painting. The sconces are quite lovely too. Your new arrangement is definitely a keeper!
It looks great that way! What a wonderful deal on the plates.
Beautifully done Martina! I love the painting and love the way the blue plates make everything pop. Lovely!

Looks great, Martina. Love the transferware and those sconces. Good job.
I think it turned out so pretty. I can see why you're finally happy with it. I love transferware plates grouped around mirrors and pictures. Those sconces are pretty too. Love the night shot.
Looks beautiful, and I would say you got it down too. I love decorating with plates too Martina!
Oh your wall looks gorgeous!! I am so in love with your Thomas Kincaid painting!!
I adore the transferware! I often have that happen to me-trouble over a specific area, and once it comes together, it's magical!
I think it is a keeper, Martina, it looks beautiful. That is a gorgeous Thomas Kinkade. I love it!
Hugs, Cindy
You got it, and it looks FABULOUS!! Love your Kinkade painting. I have always wanted that one. The plates and scones balance it all out, love it!

I love this...mostly because of the transferware but also because it's symmetrical. Perfect!
It looks beautiful, Martina! I love it too!
Be a sweetie,

I love the combination of the blue plates (I also have the one with the carriage and horses) with the framed print. The sconces add to the touch. Well done.
Martina, it just looks beautiful! I love the plates!
You know I love those plates up there! Definitely a keeper! It looks great!
Hi Martina,
It looks perfect and so well balanced...
The new plate collection is lovely!
Have a great weekend too!

Simple, but elegant! I love it!
Definitely a keeper! Your living room wall looks wonderful. I love the sconces, the painting & the plates. I have a living room wall that drives me crazy too. I really need to do something about it.
I think it looks fabulous with the plates!! I always have the same problem,what to put where.

I collect blue & white transferware and have plates hung in a similar fashion around the arches to the living and dining room, so of course I love your wall arrangement! Visiting from FNF.
I know that feeling all too well! I think you've got it! The plates are beautiful and if you were to change your mind, they would look great anywhere!
Martina...this looks lovely! The painting is just beautiful and I love it under the light! What a great deal on the plates, I like them a lot!
XO,

This look is definitely a keeper. I love the plates and the sconces. Just gorgeous. What a difference the right arrangement on the wall makes.
So beautiful, Martina! I love the look!
Oh I so agree, it is lovely. Your plates and sconces are wonderful and the painting is so beautiful. I do loe the collage. Hugs, Marty
Love the added plates you have here. I have some in my shop for sale...just waiting on some smart gal like you to come along:)

Hi Martina, yes, it is a keeper. And since I am a blue and white lover, I just love what you have created.
Marianne :)
I just love Thomas Kincade and his work. Lucky you.......
Your right, it looks amazing. I have a wall like that too. I'm constantly changing things up but I still don't like it.
Definitely a keeper! Your new sconces are lovely and the blue plates pick up the colour in the painting beautifully. Altogether a very elegant look! In case I don't manage to visit over Christmas (school holidays and a house full of visitors) - Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas and we will chat again in the New Year. x Sharon
Those sconces are great! I love how well they go with the beautiful painting. The scenes on the plates are so charming. You did a great job of putting it all together. It looks great.
Please come link up your beautiful home at my Show & Tell party on Wednesdays. Its at mrshinesclass.wordpress.com

Beautiful Martina! The plates were the perfect addition, great price too! Love your sconces, they are so pretty with the mirror background. Can't wait to see your slip cover...have a GREAT weekend!
Hi Martina...
I love it, my friend! Of course, I love decorating with pretty plates...you just can't go wrong. The blued transferware plates look really beautiful with the blues in Thomas Kinkade's painting! Ohhh..and I love your new sconces too! A beautiful wall gallery, dear friend! I think you done it!!!
Warmest Christmas Wishes,
Chari
Martina, I love it. I know it feels great when a plan comes together. Have a great weekend!

I think you are right, you have got it! It looks great. I adore those sconces. I thought they were vintage until you said you bought them at Ballard's. Love that bird pillow on the couch also.
the arrangment looks beautiful!!!! and the pillow is the perfect holiday touch on the couch! you inspired me, i am going to look for one to go on my brown couch!
I think the new arrangement looks fabulous, Martina! I hope that you and your family are having a fabulous December!
I'm thinking of hanging plates around our tv in the bedroom. Love your arrangement around your gorgeous painting.
The new wall looks gorgeous Martina!
Merry Christmas!
Martina, love the plates in your wall arrangements....that was the perfect touch. Also, I KNEW that was a Kincaide by the light shining through the windows of the cottage. What a wonderful gift! Linda
I'd say you "got it," too! It looks fabulous, Martina! The plates truly are the crowning touch ... beautiful painting.
I love how you placed the plates. I always have such trouble with that~ Looks pretty
