I recently shared my desire to travel the world and see all sorts of exotic places...well, here is a cheap and easy way to decorate a room and share that love of the world and travel! And just how do you do that you ask? MAPS! They're cheap and easy to find. You can go for a real map or check out Cavallini & Co. who I posted about earlier this year. They sell several great gift wraps with a map design on them (if you're interested in Cavallini & Co., you'll have to order from another store online because you cannot order directly from them. There are several links on the right side of online stores that sell their products). If you're looking for that antiqued map look and just can't find an old map of your own...no worries! There are many great tutorials online of how to create an antiqued map look. Here are some great images that include mapsand if you like the idea of using maps in decor, keep your eyes open because there are some great ideas here...
You can create this eye-catching piece of art so easily! I really love this one.
Use maps to create privacy in an office with a glass door.
I love how the blues have been pulled out of this map and
complimented with other pieces of the same color.
