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.

WORLD ME! I can’t decide what I would choose: my hometown of Kailua, Hawaii, or where I live now with my family, Shelburne, Massachusetts. Both places mean the world (ha!) to me. Love the maps, though, so I would make a choice quickly should I have to.

Diana says
WORLD ME!!! I moved from San Francisco to Portland, ME, without knowing anyone in the city or having nearby family. It was quite the adventure, but absolutely worth it. A map of the city and the bay would be incredible to have. :) And considering how few walls I have without a door, window, or cutout on them, a fantastic excuse to rip off the paneling in the dining room.
