I got this plate rack from my mother, a swap out for a piece of furniture I was selling.  And please don't mind the ugliness of the pictures.  My camera is terrible.  I did a black onyx minwax and touched it up with a little distressing.  I will go with small pewter knobs or hooks at the very bottom.  It did originally have hooks but they were all broken.  After that my project is complete.  And on to the next!
