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.

I’d say either Stone Harbor, NJ, since it’s where we got married, or Key Wet, since it’s where we went on our honeymoon.
Kirbee says
World me!
My husband and I agree – the University of British Columbia Research Forest. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world, and where we shared our first kiss. We live in Iowa, so we fantasize about lovely forests :D
Arely says
WORLD ME!
I am in love with Monterrey Mexico, where I lived for four years… but I’d probably end up ordering a map of Lawrence KS, where we live now. Our baby girl was born here, so it will forever be special to us.
Gesci says
WORLD ME!
I’d either get Moray, Scotland or North Yorkshire, England. We just moved back to the States from 3 years in England, and I think my heart stayed there. But since I did get a few wonderful antique maps while I was there, I’d also consider Atlanta, since that’s where I grew up and that city will always be Home…
Love this!

Chantelle says
WORLD ME!!!! I grew up in Millstadt, Illinois, which is basically Small Town USA. I’ve lived here my entire life. I recently bought my first house that I will be gutting and remodeling and it is 30 min away from my beloved hometown. So I would love a map of my little town to hang on the wall to keep me close to home.
Whitley S. says
WORLD ME!
Ever since I was born, my family has always vacationed in Myrtle Beach, SC. Even though my parents are divorced we no longer go there as a family, I still go there now with my friends and budding family. It’s basically been the only constant since I’ve moved countless times :) No complaints here!
