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.

Since it looks like my hometown of Hamilton, ON isn’t available, I would probably go for a full world map. There are so many places I want to go, and memories of places I’ve been, I think a full wall map would be amazing.

Gina says
WORLD ME!
John I’m a map fiend as well!! I have been acquiring maps of places we travel. But right now I’m hoping to find a fun way to map out the big moments in our lives which have all taken place along I-70 in the state of Missouri! Raised in St. Louis, married in Columbia, living and having babies in Kansas City. So maybe a mural sized map of Missouri is in my future!!
