Decorate with Music City Postcards

The creative folks at Anderson Design Group have a few more home decor ideas that involve decorating with postcards.

Dress up any table with a Music City postcard collage!
Need a way to add color or brighten up a plain glass-topped table? Here is an inexpensive way to create your own table-topper conversation piece. Simply remove the glass, arrange Spirit of Nashville postcards, and place the glass back on top of the card collage. This looks great on a coffee table but can be used on any glass-topped table.


Supplies:
Glass-topped table
Spirit of Nashville Post Cards

Create a Spirit of Nashville postcard wall border!
If you want a Music City themed room, (great for a guest room!) but painting a giant guitar on the wall isn't quite your style, we have a beautiful yet simple solution. You can add color and a Music City flare to any room by simply adhering our Spirit of Nashville postcards side-by-side to your walls.


Supplies:
Spirit of Nashville Postcards
Poster tack or wall safe adhesive 
Ladder or stool

Hang a postcard laundry line!
If you like our art but don't have a lot of wall space, the designers at Anderson Design Group have a great tip on how to use our postcards in your home decor. Here is a simple and inexpensive way to decorate a small or medium sized space. All you need is an indoor laundry line, string or wire, wooden clothes pins, and your favorite Spirit of Nashville postcards.



Supplies:
Indoor laundry line or string of your choice
Spirit of Nashville postcards
Wooden clothes pins

How to:
Install laundry line with screws, or nails. Then use clothes pins to attach Spirit of Nashville postcards to the line. The jumbo postcard pack has 60 cards, so you can change your art as often as you like!

Arrange a Music City postcard bouquet!
Our postcards look great when clustered together. To make a postcard bouquet, use anything made for displaying photos. Or to personalize the bouquet, sprinkle in some photos of someone special.

NashVegas Wedding Theme
The guest book at any event is one of the first things your guest will see. If it is done right, the guest book can set the tone for the event and become valuable keepsake after it’s all over. To add a little spice to your special day try using one of our prints or a coffee table book. Here is what one creative bride did for her Music City wedding...


You can order a Spirit of Nashville print and have guests sign it, or you can put the print in a mat, and have your guests sign the mat. We found these great photos from Style Me Pretty and A Delightful Day

Pancake Pantry Guestbook/ Table Decor
You can dress up any venue to enhance the Music City theme. This brilliant bride planeed an event at Nashville’s very own Pancake Pantry. She slid our prints under the glass at each table to add an extra Spirit of Nashville touch to the place.

Coffee Table Guest Book
Here is a unique wedding souvenir idea: Have all your guests sign a Spirit of Nashville coffee table book. Encourage your guests to write all over our full-color 9" x 12" 120-page coffee table book. They will enjoy writing their comments and best-wishes. After the honeymoon, you can read and treasure your favorite Music City Memories for years to come.
