Framing Postcards DIY

Rosalia Temmuz 04, 2021

This Summer is (dare I say "was?") all about reading and decorating our new home. I have 3 Berlin postcards from the DDR which I´ve been wanting to put in frames a long time now. It is a DIY project I have been planning long ago, to have that "full wall of black and white framed pictures" look. And I just love old postcards, it is beautiful photography and history in one picture!

Those 3 were taped to the wall near the mirror, here is a close up on each:

The postcards depict Berlin right after the wall was built. On the horizontal one there´s a sign in German that says "Warning - go away, Soviet Union".
I bought cheap black frames and had fun nailing them to the wall.

The postcards hang next to the bathroom door (you can see a glimpse of a Depeche Mode poster on it). I would love to have like a cloud of those little frames on the wall.
