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 special place in my heart for Minnesota. It’s where I grew up, and where we spend most of our vacations (all of our fam is still up there). Something about all the lakes, woods, rolling hills, change of seasons… Yer darn tootin’ I love it, you betcha. ;o)
P.S. I am totally geeking out over this freebie! I have been wanting to wallpaper a room with maps for some time. And it would be *perfect* for us, since I’m a homeschoolin’ mama. And you know the motto of the home school: “where education and style collide.” Ha. (What? Pajama pants at 3 in the afternoon are totally stylish!). ;o)
