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 have a fondness for Maine & Vermont, which are both very special places for me. I have been obsessed with maps since I was a child. I spend hours reading atlases & other maps. I was able to navigate from our home in Starksboro, Vermont to our grandparents house in Schenectady, New York when I was 7 years old!

WORLD ME! I’d LOVE a gorgeous map of my home town or home country – Oldham, England!

I’d love a daily wall reminder of where my roots run deepest!

kristin says
WORLD ME!
I’ve always been in love with Colorado, but was born/brought up in the midwest, so I went to school in Ohio with a smaller version of CO mountains *totally just hills* and loved it to pieces. Now I live in the “New England” area (ha! sounds so funny to me) and it’s got the trees and smells I remember from Colorado. I can’t WAIT till the kids are big enough (in our eyes) to take them there… we’ve got four so we’ll probably drive… from CT to CO (so yeah… maybe a few more years since our oldest is 6). sorry about the long post.
Carrie says
I was just saying to my hubby last night that I’d like to wallpaper our 1/2 bath with maps. Winning this would be the “world [to] me”! Thanks
Carole says
World Me!!! I want this prize for my new big-boy’s room. I would choose the world map. (in blues & greens because it would match the new paint on the wall, Sea glass) and mostly because I’ve always told my boys that the planet is ours to protect and to discover. It’s a big world and the possibilities are endless. I think they would love it! Thanks.
Elizabeth says
WORLD ME! I will always have a special love for my hometown RVA!
Megan C. says
“WORLD ME” My favorite geographic location is Chicago. I grew up in a suburb just south of Chicago and that place is magical.
