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.

Sara says
WORLD ME! … I am a huge fan of the area where I grew up in New Jersey, but I would love to put up a map of the world in our house!
Ann says
World me! My favorite place is Boston, MA. I already have several maps/prints of that, though, so I’d probably get a world map for the wall.
Laura says
World me! My hubby lived in Poland for two years so maybe Warsaw, Poland.
Mariangela says
WORLD ME! Cutest most special place for me is Cortona, a little ancient hill town full of character and cobblestones on the border of Tuscany & Umbria in Italy. We fell in love with the place and decided to go back a year later and get married – best decision ever! I’m from Scotland, which comes a close second ;)
Rachel says
“WORLD ME!”
I live in London, UK, and think that London looks so incredibly beautiful on a map. I often think about getting one but I’ve never seen one that’s just right. These look great. I love the idea of the whole wall being a map (I think it would look great in a loo – in a sitting room though it might make you look like an estate agent?!)
(and thank you for a worldwide giveaway!)

Krystal says
WORLD ME!
I grew up on a farm in southern Wisconsin and – although I’m a big city girl now – I’m never far from my country roots. I’d zoom in on our home farm, or I guess Clarno Township if I can’t get that specific.

danielle says
WORLD ME!
i will always have a special place in my heart for the small town i grew up in– but unfortunately that place doesn’t exist anymore, having fallen victim to modern-day, big-box mentality that has run it into the ground.
my new hometown reminds me of the place i grew up, and is where i hope to spend the rest of my days. how can you not love a town that still has impromptu parades down main street (and right by our house!) when the high school football team wins?!?!
Claire says
WORLD ME!
I’m not from there, but I have a fascination for London! I’m obsessed with all things British and even more obsessed with anything London related.
Lisa Young says
WORLD ME! Gotta love a good map, I certainly do!

Damia says
WORLD ME!
We lived just outside Portland Oregon for ~5 years – I frickin’ love that city!!
Sarah says
WORLD ME!
Salt Lake City, UT – it’s a strange little place, known for many things good and bad alike, but it’s where all the best things have happened to me, and will always be “home”.

I’m a second generation Chicagoan, and my grandparents emigrated here from Poland when they were fairly young. While I dream of living elsewhere, I can’t deny that Chicago is in my bones.

World Me!!! I would love to have a map of SE Kansas. Weird location I know. It is where I went to college, met my husband and fell in love. Bonus that my husband is a map FREAK, he has never met a globe he doesnt like and old map books from our local City Thrift, you know he is a sucker!!
