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 would live to have a map of my tiny home town of Howe, Indiana. It’s mostly Amish farmland, very quaint, flat, open land. Cows grazing in the pastures and red barns, spring fed lakes, amazingly untouched by modern society.

WORLD ME!
We had a bi-coastal US honeymoon, all the way from the UK so that would have to be a giant map of the US, not bad but I’m sure we could do better than that…The town I grew up in, where I met my dh at school, where we were married, where my parents lived until we moved them in with us, that would all be worth having on a map on the wall!
Thanks for a international giveaway!
