Since many of us are stuck at home, we thought this would be a good time to focus on things you can do at home with postcards… like decorating! We roamed the forum and asked for help on our Facebook page, and dozens of you kindly shared your walls, doors and other parts of your house with us. Below are a few inspiring glimpses into your homes and offices.

AMDGIHS2019's wall of postcards
Michael (aka AMDGIHS2019) in the USA displays his cards by placing them on the door to the study using removable poster tape, and changes the cards quarterly. He says it’s a blast of interesting color that everyone can appreciate every time they walk into that room.
barbie3000's wall of postcards
Barbra (aka barbie3000) from Canada found these card displays on Amazon and got a few. She keeps them in the walls of her home office.
artemisgreeneye's wall of postcards
Shelby (aka artemisgreeneye) in the USA wrote that she built a 54" × 40" wooden shadowbox to display her cards. She usually displays them in themes and changes things up once in a while.
TheBeaverFamily's wall of postcards
TheBeaverFamily in the USA reserved a whole wall to display their postcards, and noticed afterwards that the random arrangement of the twine mimics the trajectory of the postcards, coming from all over. So beautiful!
alexalevitas' wall of postcards
Alexandra (aka alexalevitas) in the UK says she has moved around quite a lot and a new “postcard wall” is what makes her feel at home. 💛
Lulu1998's wall of postcards
Lucie (aka Lulu1998) from France shared her bedroom wall with us. She used triangular scrapbook stickers to hold the postcards to the wall, so that they don’t get damaged. Smart!
CathyFay's wall of postcards
Cathy (aka CathyFay) in the USA has this display hanging above her computer desk and changes the theme monthly. Can you guess April’s theme?
SorayaTineBelgium's wall of postcards
Soraya (aka SorayaTineBelgium) has several walls on her house filled with postcards, and also keeps some organized in clear boxes.
room31's wall of postcards
TJ (aka room31) in the USA shared his map-themed living room, and it really makes us want to travel!
mojokin's wall of postcards
Patricia (aka mojokin) in Canada says she scooped this multi-armed photo holder at a thrift store, and repurposed it as a postcard holder. It looks like a burst of color!

You can see more examples and also add a photo of your own wall on this forum thread or Facebook post — we’d love to see it and be inspired! 😊
