NICE WALL DECORATION

When I was studying in England way back in the 1990s, I bought a book postcard Roses by Pierre-Joseph Redouté Postcards. This book has been lying in my cupboard for years.
 Here are two pages of the postcards in the book.
 Another two pages of the roses postcards.
The last page of the book.  The pictures of the roses are really pretty, aren't they?  That is why I didn't use them as postcards all these years.  Just wanted to keep them.
Recently I visited a website and got an idea of what to do with my rose postcards.  You can see the pictures of the decorations below.  I will get the postcards framed individually and put them up on the wall of my house in Ipoh.

I recently went to a museum where various botanical drawings were on display. Most of the drawings look better than the actual plants.

I agree with you.

I was just cleaning up when I noticed that one of my table placemats is based on Redoute's roses. I hadn't noticed it before. I guess it means I should clean more often.
