Pewter plates in the kitchen

I've been working on my kitchen for awhile now, not really knowing what I wanted to do or what I wanted to spend.  First choice, was spend as little as possible.  Second choice, was to do something different, something that was "me". 

I decided on a backsplash and ended up using my Cricut and black vinyl.  I think it turned out wonderful! 

 My next purchase will be trading out the white plate outlets and light switches with silver ones to match the chrome on my appliances.

I still haven't found the material I want for the curtain above my windows.  This is my before picture.

And this is the wall art I purchased at Walmart.  It cost me $11 which I didn't think was too bad.  I bought it because I wanted the spoon!

Not a great picture and I apologize for that!  

In keeping with the silver and black theme, I purchased pewter plates off of ebay.  Don't you just love ebay!!

I purchased disc hangars at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each hoping they would work on these plates.  Unfortunately I wasted my money.  Not because of the product and quality but because these simply do not work on pewter.  Luckily I kept a close eye on them and realized they weren't going to work and took them down before they fell.

So this is what it looks like with the plates up.
