Maps

I have always loved maps. They are so beautiful. Somehow a panned out view of the planet gives glory to God don't you think? I'd love to find a couple of vintage maps of Nevada and Minnesota (mine and husby's respective birth states) for artwork above our sofa. The map above by The Future Mapping Company is gorgeous! Check out their website if you are so inclined.

Collage of maps would be darling in a kid's room.

I am in AWE over this map by Eric Fischer. Gorgeous and has a very interesting back story. Read about them at Trend Land.

    The map behind the bed (it looks to be of Paris!) is just gorgeous. That is a really lovely bedroom.

    I love the idea of decoratign with maps! My husband and I have lived in numerous places, and both love to travel, so beautiful maps just seem so fitting! I've been forbidden to decorate with any more Eiffel Towers, but a huge map of Paris is a great way to get more French tribute into our home :)

    I adore maps.
    While growing up we had a globe and i loved seeing how distant countries were and the main cities, the rivers.... I remember my globe had countries that have now dissappeared or changed names.

    The maps look great and are an interesting alternative to normal artwork thanks for this, inspired me to make a world-themed mood board and design a world-themes room using mydeco.com's 3D room planner, thanks!
