Obsessed with plates on walls

JulesPlateWall
A few weeks ago we visited my husband’s cousin and his wife at their gorgeous home in New York just outside of Manhattan.  Every room was beautifully decorated, but the one thing I just couldn’t take my eyes off of was this amazing plate wall in their kitchen.  Is this stunning or what?  I’ve been wanting to do a plate wall in my kitchen for ages, and now after seeing this one it’s all I can think about.  After doing some online browsing I found this design on Houzz (see below).  Now I can’t decide between an all white design or something with a bit more color.  Which design style do you prefer?
