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!
This might sound like a suck-up move, but I love Richmond. I grew up here, left for college, and promptly returned (Pittsburgh has the worst weather!). I’ve loved watching this city come alive over the past 10 years and feeling part of it!
Linny says

So many good choices of lovable meaningful places, but I think Cape Cod, where I grew up, where we got engaged & married, and where we spend as much time as possible in the summer wins!

World me!
I’d have to go with my hometown of Warsaw, Poland. That’s what initially drew me to JennaSue’s map art, but since we wanted three piece of cities we’d both been to, I didn’t get my way… I love Amsterdam, Havana and St. John’s, but I love Warsaw more!
