And the lucky / randomly selected / soon to be quite worldly person is… Briana (who says “London, Ontario is special to me. That’s where I first lived on my own, went to University, met my husband, and I just loved that city. Plus, it has the best spaghetti restaurant ever, Spageddy Eddy’s!”). Congrats! And for everyone else, scroll down to the contest entry details for a sweet little discount the Wallpapered folks added for everyone.
One look at Pinterest and I don’t feel quite so alone in my fascination with maps. So to everyone else out there who digs a little cartography in their design, hold on to your seats. This week the people behind Wallpapered are giving one of you a nice big 8ft x 5ft world map wallpaper kit so that you can add a map-tastic mural to your home. As much as I love the various world map styles they offer, the coolest feature (at least to me) is that you can also get custom area map wallpaper that basically zooms into a postal code of your choosing. So you could order custom wallpaper showcasing your favorite big city – or even the small town that you grew up in.

WORLD ME!Hawaii would be my choice for many reasons.
Trish says
WORLD ME – and definitely New Orleans, that’s where my husband is from, and where we met and fell in love. It’s a lively city with the warmest people, the best food, and the most soul anywhere!

Alise says
WORLD ME!
We LOVE maps in our family we’ve moved nine times in 12 years and love to travel. We have created little pinnable maps for our two boys and stick pins in all of the places we’ve visited with them. My husband started it when he was learning to fly and had to do cross country trips to get various plane ratings. It is really fun to talk about all of the places we’ve all been and plan our next adventure where we don’t see many pins!
Jennifer says
WORLD ME! I love the entire east coast. I grew up in the military, so we moved around a lot but always seemed to stay along the eastern shore, from Florida to New York.

WORLD ME!!!
I’m from Wisconsin. Hate the cold, but love my family that’s still there.
Meg says
WORLD ME!!! Hmm…Probably Middlebury, Vermont, which was our one of the main stops for our honeymoon. We totally have the “we should move there” moments, but as they say on 30 Rock, “Every great getaway has that moment when you want to pack it all in and stay. That’s how l ended up with a time-share in Port Arthur, Texas.”
