Postcard wall.

A while ago Brian and I saw something like this on a blog and thought it would be the perfect way to display the postcards my dad sends us.  Ever since I was a little girl my dad has given me postcards.  During college he sent them to me each week.  Now he sends 2-3 postcards a week.  I have quite the collection now, and love them!  And now, thanks to Brian’s hard work, we can show them off!

I was amazed at how Brian could see this idea on a blog and duplicate it so well.  We got 6 foot long 1 x 2 inch pieces of wood from Home Depot.  Then Brian routed a notch the length of the board for the postcards to sit in.  He drilled pilot holes on the short side so he could mount them directly into the beams on the wall without splitting the wood in half when he screwed through it.  He sanded them, painted them white, and screwed them in.  I love it!
