THE STORY BEHIND THE IDEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

How did I choose to use a postcard rack for photo display? \u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s hard to pinpoint where an amazing idea begins, but it usually it\u2019s born from solving a problem.<\/p>\n

Each house you own is different\u2014obviously, but even if you\u2019re attracted to homes with similarities (I\u2019m a fan of warm wood and rock) they each have their strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0 Sometimes, what seems like a strength can be a weakness.<\/p>\n

Case in point, my new open concept home.\u00a0 I know that open concept homes are all the rage\u2014and for good reason.\u00a0 They\u2019re designed so that, even small homes, have a lot of breathing room.\u00a0 The open concept also eliminated outdated designs that created isolated and often unused rooms\u2014formal dining anyone?\u00a0 But it created its own problems.\u00a0 By eliminating walls, it also makes it harder to define spaces\u2014and make no mistake, your home needs defined spaces to create cohesion.<\/p>\n

I desperately needed a defined entry, but only had a single wall to create it.\u00a0 I probably could have dialed it in and put a well-designed sidebar with two buffet lamps, but I had another problem to solve\u2014no place for my piano.\u00a0 The question became, \u201chow do I design an entry way around a piano?\u00a0 And how do I include some of the conventions of an entry way?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was immediately obvious that I needed to be able to display photographs, but I didn\u2019t want to completely pepper the wall with framed photos\u2014mostly because I\u2019m lazy.\u00a0 Up until two years ago, all my framed photos featured my young children\u2014except they weren\u2019t young anymore.\u00a0 I only replaced them with up-to-date photos because my, now adult son, was leaving on a church mission and I wanted my home to reflect the stage of life I\u2019m in.<\/p>\n

The postcard rack photo display idea came to me one night while talking to my mom on the phone.\u00a0 She works for Hallmark and was talking about how she has to change out the card displays with the holidays.\u00a0 And it was like a light bulb turned on. \u00a0I could use a postcard rack for photo display. \u00a0A few days later my postcard rack arrived and suddenly, my entry wall began to take shape.<\/p>\n

WHY IT\u2019S A BRILLANT IDEA<\/strong><\/p>\n

People love to reflect on the past, but they also love looking to the future.\u00a0 Framed photographs can quickly become time capsules that don\u2019t reflect today.\u00a0 The postcard rack photo display solves these problems.\u00a0 I display current photos, and photos of past events. Every new visitor who enters my home gravitates toward the postcard rack photo display. It\u2019s fun to watch nieces and nephews thumb through the photos to find the stack from their wedding.\u00a0 My kids seem to stop at least once a week and look at something on display.\u00a0 I add new photos periodically thanks to SnapFish, so that it\u2019s up-to-date and yet it honors the past.<\/p>\n

HOW TO USE THE IDEA IN YOUR HOME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Postcard racks come in a variety of sizes and shapes, so they fit into almost any room.\u00a0 You can choose a rack that hangs on the wall, or a tabletop rack that spins.\u00a0 They can also be used to display something other than photographs, such as beautiful recipe cards in a kitchen or index cards filled with ideas in your home office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
