Thinking Travel

 

In its previous life my home office was a little girl’s room.

The monkey and lizard you see are one of two murals. It’s cute and looks hand-painted, so I feel terrible every time I think about sanding it down and painting over it. I’m sure someone put a lot of time and effort into it.

But it’s just not home office material.

So, today I devised a cheap and easy way to temporarily cover it up – and finally do something with the zillions of postcards I have hidden away in travel-themed boxes.

Here’s what I did (see photos below):

Step One: Found some purple wrapping paper with very faint stripes that happened to be just slightly larger than the mural. Taped it to the wall.

Step Two: Used these nifty little fotoclips to make a postcard collage.

Step Three: Pasted postcard collage onto purple paper.

Result: Instead of a little girl’s room, my home office looks like a college dorm.
