Shelf for playing cards

10 years ago

Hi everyone! My boyfriend collects packs of playing cards and now he has over 100 of them... The problem is that we don't really know how we could show them off as just a shelf where we could put them seems boring... Suggestions are welcomed and I would really be grateful if someone could come up with a great idea as his birthday is coming up soon and it would be a nice surprise! Thanks...

Perhaps if you organize them on bookshelves (like a library) by continent, with the ones with the most interesting covers on top or tending face out?

Thank you for you suggestion... I was actually thinking that I saw a huge wooden world map in dunne stores and I could improvise small holders and stick them on the map so they could hold the packs of cards and show the countries they were bought from... I will try and do it ASAP and will upload a photo with the result ;) ... Thank you again, great inspiration...

Hi Janis Unfortunately I am not in the Boston area - I live in Ireland! Yes there are red items in 3 of the main rooms, the kitchen, sitting room and tv room (library) - although we have pared those back now and it's not as overwhelming. thanks for all your help everyone, i really feel like it's made a big difference and am excited to finish the tv room and then refresh the play room. do you think I should move the piano to the sitting room? and would the jazz painting work in the tv room? speak later, thanks!

The trim in your rooms is outstanding. To "tie the rooms together", the one thing I would do is install chair rail the same color as the existing trim. The horizontal lines of chair rail will move the eye around the room and into the next room creating a flow. Chair rail is relatively inexpensive, easy to install and would be wonderful compliment to your existing beautiful trim.

Hi Travis and SoYoung - thanks for mentioning the fireplace.....I was thinking that I would keep it simple with a wood shelf over it and a large piece of Art but I now think it might be a bit lost. Would love some ideas as it needs to work with the built-ins which are slightly domineering. Also, Liam_Boyle - agree re the unbalance. The TV will be staying but I have a lovely coffee table and 2 identical sofas coming so I'm hoping to lay out symmetrically in the room. Will keep 1 of the chairs. Hope this will balance up. Thanks.

A soft mossy or grey green would be my first impulse but Sarah's dark blue looks good. It depends on your kitchen ware. White porcelains will pop with the blue and earthy stoneware will go more with the soft greens. I'd add a shelf to extend from the cabinet across the tile and a pot rack or hooks over the stove.

If you are ok to glue velcro on the package of the deck card, maybe you can stick them on the map using velcro.
