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.
- PRIZE: Any world map or custom area map wallpaper up to 8ft x 5ft from Wallpapered (a $400+ value!)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “WORLD ME!” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: …what town / city / state / country / other geographic area is most special to you? Will you always have a fondness for the town you grew up in? Are you most enamored with the place where you honeymooned? Or are you just bursting with pride over the area where you currently live?

WORLD ME!!
I’ve always loved maps. There’s just something about antique world maps that is so beautiful!

WORLD ME!
Dublin will always hold a special place in my heart. I dreamed about going there for years, and it was my first big city in Europe experience. My boyfriend lived there for several months, and it’s also the setting of one of my favorite book series.

WORLD ME!
I’d want a map of New Orleans, where I was born and raised. When I was a kid there was a huge map of New Orleans on the wall at my local library, and I would delight endlessly on finding the street where I lived on it. After living away for so long it would be lovely to have a “little” piece of home ;)
Mary B says
WORLD ME! I live in Portland now and love it, but New Orleans still holds magic for me. Honestly, though, I can never choose one “best” place, so I’d probably have to go with a world map, so I can see all the places I still want to go!

My husband and I are from opposite hemispheres and sides of the dateline, so maps are a passion. Reunion Island is a place dear to our hearts where family is.

Briana says
Yay! I won! My husband and I are currently debating which map to get. I love the Antique World map, but he’s an Anglophile, leaning towards the London Underground map.
Thanks Petersiks! Found your website when we were getting married in 2010 and looking for backyard wedding ideas – totally stole your s’mores idea :)

WORLD ME
Lyons, GA. USA. Small town. Lots of tractors and fields. Gnats and hot summers. There is no place like home.
