I’m all about finding creative ways to fill your walls without spending a ton of money.  This means that I often turn to unexpected items for wall decor inspiration.  I have these recipe cards that belonged to my grandmother.  I framed them and hung them in our last townhouse….

…. and here they were in our rental kitchen:

… and finally here they are in our “forever” home:

This project got me thinking about other creative ways to display and preserve your favorite recipe cards.  Here are some of my favorites from around the web.
