Well, I am finally about 90% done with the "plate rail" in my dining room. It is a project that I have wanted to do for years now. I removed all existing molding in the room and went with 1 x 4, and routed a simple bead on one edge.
For those that are unfamiliar, a plate rail used to be used to store plates in homes that had no cabinets. The rail would be set high to keep the plates safe.
I still need to add the actual shelf that would hold the plates (in our case family photos), but my wife and I are still debating about which molding to use on the underside, the kitchen is a shaker style cabinet so we are reluctant to go with anything too fancy.
With any luck, these photo uploads will work. Thanks in advance for taking a peek.
