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.

India would be my only choice for a map. How can I forget the homeland?
Lisa says
WORLD ME! Paradise campground in Oregon has always been a great place to go and spend summers with my mother.
Jen Migonis says
World Me! Our current town where my hubby and I met, married and now live and are fixing up a house!
Liz says
World me please!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Amie says
WORLD ME!
We are in love with the city where we met, live and will get married in.
But Japan and Peru hold special places in our hearts, too.
Elizabeth says
WORLD ME!
We are making a move soon, but will always love the natural state -Arkansas! :)
Ellen says
WORLD ME!
My family has a pretty strong connection to good old RVA…but I’m also obsessed with all things Paris.
Teegan says
WORLD ME!
The tiny Australian country town we visited every year to see my Great-Nana on the old family farm. Nowhere else has that priceless combination of good memories and family history.
Autumn says
WORLD ME! I’d love to say Paris, as I did go there in high school and absolutely loved it, but for whatever reason our hometown (which is also where we currently live!) is the first place to come to mind. :)
Kaylie says
WORLD ME!! I am super proud of Indianapolis, where I was born and raised. However, I would be most excited about this because I made my husband a giant world map that we could pin where we’ve been together — and we had to leave it in our old house because it was basically bolted to the wall. Our new house is decorated with maps and photos of places we’ve been but we’re lacking the one big world map.
Brenda says
WORLD ME!
Definitely North Carolina. I was born and raised in WI (and live there now), but I spent three years living in NC and I will always consider that my real home.
Kristin F. says
WORLD ME!
My husband and I will always be fond of Minneapolis, MN. I come from a small metro near the Mississippi River, an area formed by four cities in Illinois and Iowa known as the quad cities. My husband grew up a half an hour outside of Green Bay, WI. I grew up loving the idea of moving to Chicago and he always wanted to live in NYC. Before we were married we were trying to find a place to call home and decided on the Twin Cities. It was a big city, which we both wanted, but somewhere that we wanted to be equally without ever having to feel that one dream city was more important than another. Along with finding the humor of being a Bears fan and a Packers fan in Viking territory it was the first place that we felt at home together. Although we had to move back to my home town for a while due to fmail and financial issues, Minneapolis will always be OUR home.
lisa says
World Me! Florida–that’s where i met my husband.:)
LC says
WORLD ME!
These. are. amazing.
I would probably get a map of Michigan, since I love my home state and have many wonderful memories from the yearly vacations my husband and I take (Sleeping Bear Dunes, Mackinac Island, etc). What can I say? This place makes me smile!
Alexis says
WORLD ME!

Nora Rose says
WORLD ME!
I love Boston and Paris, so different but both have meandering strange streets and surprises…
Heather says
World ME!
Seeing as the postcode option isn’t available for us (Australia), I truely would love the whole world option. It’s a big, big world out there and showing me kids that there’s a whole lot to explore and enjoy suits me down to the ground.
Kathleen says

Bonnie says

I love anywhere near the beach, or lake, or river. Oh, heck. Anywhere near water. A little kiddie wading pool will do!

WORLD ME! I don’t know… My husband grew up in Zimbabwe (in Africa) so that country is pretty important to him…
Derek says
WORLD ME!
I grew up in and around Grand Rapids, MI, and having toured the country several times, I can say it’s grown to be my favorite. As teenagers, we resent the place we grew up, but as an adult, I appreciate everything Grand Rapids has become to me. MITTEN PRIDE!

WORLD ME! I would want a world map, so we could mark all of the beautiful places we have visited.
Megan P says
WORLD ME!!!
My heart is torn between two places. I grew up in Tucson, AZ, and I love and miss the mountains and the cactus and the climate and all the places of my town, and of course my family in it. But now, I live in Savannah, GA, and the history, the beauty, the trees, the lifestyle, the people…. I love it here.
Jen says
WORLD ME! The UK town where I was born and raised will always be special to me, but New Zealand is definitely HOME. I am so excited that this freebie is worldwide so that we can participate from Down-under!! Thank you!
