Wallpaper - Greetings from Pennsylvania - Screenprint Postcard

Our Greetings from Pennsylvania wallpaper reimagines the classic mid-century large-letter souvenir postcard as graphic wall art. Created by The Tichnor Brothers, the design features dimensional yellow and orange block lettering set against a clean sky blue field. Each individual letter is filled with vignettes celebrating the state, from the Liberty Bell and Capitol dome to city skylines, the Reading Pagoda, and regional industry. Produced as a made-to-measure mural on PVC-free paper with a subtle physical surface texture, it delivers a graphic, nostalgic focal point for residential interiors.

In the room

Because this mural functions as a single graphic composition rather than a repeating pattern, we find it works best on an uninterrupted wall where the full typography and letter vignettes can be appreciated. In a dedicated entryway or hallway, it sets an immediate, welcoming tone as guests arrive. It also brings plenty of personality to a vacation home, guest room, or casual den where a sense of place and travel heritage feels natural. Giving the design a relatively clear wall line ensures that furniture does not cut across the central lettering.

Styling it

The distinct 1930s screenprint aesthetic gives this wallpaper a strong graphic presence that pairs naturally with vintage and retro furnishings. We would lean into its Americana roots by pairing it with warm wood finishes like mid-tone oak, pine, or painted vintage pieces.

To keep the room balanced, surround the mural with clean-lined furniture and simple accessories rather than overly busy patterns. Letting the wallpaper serve as the primary artwork in the space gives the intricate letter illustrations room to stand out.

Color combinations

The dominant sky blue background provides a bright foundation, while the warm yellow, vivid orange, and accent red tones inside the lettering inject bold contrast.

When choosing colors for adjoining walls and trim, we like pulling from the softer shades within the design. A clean off-white or soft cream on neighboring surfaces keeps the room open and lets the blue backdrop pop. Alternatively, picking up the deeper navy or warm golden yellow in accent cushions, painted furniture, or subtle decor elements ties the entire palette together.
