My brother-in-law and his wife love to travel. Many years ago, he started sending up post cards from his vacations. I have kept them in a photo box over the years, but I thought it would be nice to display them. For another project/event, a purchased an old window frame from an antique store. I accidentally broke the glass pane inside and thought it was a lost cause. But then I thought I could attach chicken wire to it and hang post cards on it! The window frame from Spouses Night Out, Goodfellow AFB, TX theme That idea came to me over a year ago and I finally completed the project!
Hello. Hi there! Guess what? I got to use my STAPLE GUN last night! Nothing is more delightful to me. Like Olive, I tend to be frightened by loud noises, but don’t think that stops me from en…

Postcards are one of the best ways to remember experiences, and they’re not just good for sending. Some are so chic that they deserve to double as decor and not for just lining your junk drawer either. If your postcard displays are usually nothing more than magnets on refrigerators or messy piles on your desk, you’re probably in need of some fresh design inspiration.
Collecting Postcards – or Deltiology – is the 3rd largest hobby in the world. Even Queen Victoria had a personal collection. Why is it so popular? There’s a variety of reasons. Postca

I have to admit to being somewhat of a sucker for the color of Jadeite. It must have something to do with Martha Stewart. I collected it for a while in the 90's but found I enjoyed the color more when I use it as an accent color in fabric and knobs etc. as opposed to having too much. This is a nice little bathroom with a large shower and wonderful vintage inspired toilet and pedestal sick from Waterworks. The fixtures are brushed nickel from Rohl. I like the simplicity of the mirror but it was really lacking in some pumped up vintage color to compliment all of the nice black and white tile work. Enter Rejuvenation catalog. One of my all time favorites for vintage inspired lighting & in the last few years they have begun reproducing bath and kitchen fixtures to compliment the period lighting. The Jadeite green is so fun in this little bathroom. Along with a pair of sconces, I purchased a toilet paper holder, small towel hook (which doubles as a flower vase holder) and the tooth brush goodie. I like ice cream buckets for trash cans! The floor tile is a small 1/2 inch mosaic of tumbled marble and the walls and shower are just simple 4x4 porcelain nicely arranged I added the fun vintage post cards, all found on ebay, of various locations around Newport Beach. We had them framed with little photo edges and a really narrow black frame Here is a close up of one of the post cards: It says "Yachting, Balboa, California" Bath hook as vase holder, Nantucket inspired! I used the simple Jadeite glass pulls on the cabinet doors and more Nantucket inspired baskets for extra towels The detail in the shower is really simple but using the 1/2 inch tiles as a detail is a great idea and very inexpensive. Here is a close up of the sconces (not the best photo) but they are porcelain and very 50's. I found the great green "No Vacancy" sign and thought it would be fun over the mirror. I am such a sign junky it's not even funny anymore. Some one please help me!!! Take a look again at the before picture and I think you will agree that in the New/Old bathroom color really matters Have a wonderful weekend and try not to get too crazy out there! smiles : ) kelley
Postcards have been pushed aside by modern means of communication but do not cease to exude a special nostalgic style... And there are many ideas to use them
Here's how we made a wall of shelves to display postcard-sized art for just about $30 giving us some major impact above our office desk.
Postcard rack made from the doors of an old display cabinet. Considered for the "something I made with my own hands" assignment for Chase. I went with the knitting needle case instead. (Years later: aaaahahahaaahaaa)
