One of my favorite ideas is to use travel "souvenirs" in home decor. Perhaps it is because I have a lot of postcards and photos of places I have been, but rarely find the time to scrapbook. It would be nice to put all of those to good use.
Here are a few great ideas to put your travel souvenirs to work:
Enlarge a postcard or a sentimental envelope and frame to use as art {via}
This is actually wallpaper, but you could create a similar look using unique souvenirs and postcards to create a feature wall, or even just a smaller feature area on a wall {via}
A well-placed collection of great colored maps can serve as a great focal point in a room {via}
Using either the front, back or a combination of postcards and mod podge creates a great unique look for the top of a desk or a beverage tray {via}
So instead of keeping those postcards, photos and travel souvenirs in a show box, get them out and start decorating!!
What do you do with your travel souvenirs?
