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.

Harrisonburg, Virginia is the most special place to me in the world. I went to JMU for undergrad and master’s degrees, found my first and current job, and still live here with my college sweetheart.

I think I would choose Atlanta–we just moved here, and not only would it provide some awesome decor for our very bare walls, but I could refer to it every time I ventured out!

priscilla says

World me!
I want to see the world (literally and on my wall). I’d love to track where I’ve been (and where I’m going) and teach my 4-year-old that our world is bigger that just where we’re at.
I DO love where I live on the Central Coast of California!
Megan says
WORLD ME

WORLD ME! I would love a map of the world to pin all of the places we’ve traveled to. A huge map would let me pin the place, dates, and hang a favorite snapshot. It would be epic to try filling up the wall with photos! I have the perfect spot, too – our guest bedroom has a “world travel” theme and it’s where I display all of our souvenirs.
