Map . Decor

I'm really considering this idea for either the living room or office in our house, depending on what kind of map I find that catches my eye. I feel like not only is this a chic way to add some pop to a room, but if you choose the right map, you can also have a great conversation piece!

    I LOVE this! I've had a fixation with maps for quite awhile now. I really like the way they've used them in unexpected ways. (Can't wait to see if you do something like this...)

    I love old maps and old globes. I've been scouring estate sales lately find a globe.
