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 love Beijing. I studied abroad there with my husband in college so it holds a special place in our hearts.

World me!
Western Washington, perhaps with a zoom-in on hubby’s dairy farm (he was a dairy farmer when we met) which has been owned by his family for over 120 years. It’s next to a winding river and about 30 miles from the coast, so it would be a cool map spot!
Jas says
World me! And New York is the love of my life…
alexia says
Brugge, Belgium. Visited recently and would love to stay there forever.
Nancy S says
WORLED ME!
I’ve always had a love affair with NYC!
Holly says
WORLD ME!
London, England will always be my favourite home away from home.
Rachael G says
WORLD ME!!!!
I love Quebec City, Quebec. My family and I went there for Thanksgiving back in 1998 and it was the most memorable Thanksgiving I have ever had. It was one of the last vacations I ever went on with my grandfather before he passed away. I’ll never forget him waddling down those historic streets of Quebec City.
Elena says
WORLD ME!
I’m torn between Philadelphia (where we live now) and San Francisco (where we went on our honeymoon and we fell in LOVE with the city). They’re both great in their own right. :)
Kate says
WORLD ME!
I have a special fondness for Lewes, Delaware, a small beach town where my family used to vacation. So cute and so many good memories.
Ang says
WORLD ME! South Jersey for sure – it’s where my hubster and I grew up, where we got married, where we currently live… and some of my favorite memories are from the shore.
Jessica says
World me!
My husband is active duty military, so we move around a lot. It makes it hard to pick a particular place, but we both have a love for NYC. My husband grew up there, I spent a lot of my young adult life bumbling around the city, and my husband and I met there. :)
Jodie says
WORLD ME!! I’d go with KC, MO. The BF is from there, and he’s enamored.
rachel swartley says
WORLD ME!
Even though I no longer live there, I will always love the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Janice says
Love your home..and all the colors! Seeing the picture of John painting..do you use primer first or paint with primer? It seemed to cover well.
Got your book for Christmas…really enjoying it. I’m probably one of your older followers (could be your mother!), but read your posts daily. Keep up the good work!
Allison says
WORLD ME!
463 Summerhill Road Madison CT it is the Summer camp I spent 15 years of my life and where I met my husband! That area has some of the best memories of my life there!
Amy says
WORLD ME!
We would get a map of the world–my husband has been dying to get a mega-map to display!
Chelsie Young says
WORLD ME!
My hometown. Orangeville, UT. Tiny, remote, I’m related to everyone. Everyone has PO boxes and you’re bound to run into your sweet little blue-haired great aunt. No stoplights, fast food, shopping. When you say ‘the intersection’ you’re only talking about one thing- and everyone knows what it is. I know that sounds like torture to some people. That’s fine.
Ashley Sieker says
WORLD ME!!!
My hubby travels all over the u.s., canada and central america for work. We would love to put this up in our soon-to-be baby’s nursery!
Teresa E. says
WORLD ME!
I love Boston, MA. Nothing can compare :).
Nichole K says
WORLD ME! For me it’s the Pacific Northwest, hands down! But Maui comes in at a close second since that’s where we honeymooned.
Alex says
World Me! Bowie, Md :)
Laura says
WORLD ME!
I am an Air Force brat so I grew up everywhere. I have made my home in Texas but miss up North. My family lives in Minnesota and I miss the beautiful winter skies.
Leila says
WORLD ME! Of course Brazil!
Lauriane says
WORLD ME! Queenstown, New Zealand is a place dear to my heart!!
Christine says
WORLD ME!!
Chicago! We live just south of the city and love making the trip up as often as possible…even at the end of January. That’s true love.
Rikke says
WORLD ME!
I’d have to go with my hometown of Murray, UT. I was born and raised there (and have since moved to Dallas, TX, which I also love), but I have so many good memories from when I was younger.
Kaitlin P says
WORLD ME!!!
I would get a pic of the New Orleans area! Lived here most of my life and love it.
Pascal says
World Me! Santiago, Chile my home town.
Kim S says
WORLD ME! Gainesville, Florida where my husband and I met (and still enjoy returning to!) is one of my favorite nearby spots to visit, but my all-time favorite vacation spot, no matter how many different places around the world that we go, will probably always be NYC. No matter how many times I go, there is always something new and fun to see and do!
Julia says
“WORLD ME!” I love my current city – Vienna that is.
Elizabeth says
World Me!
Jessica F. says
WORLD ME!
Chicago is….my kind of town.
Michelle M. says
WORLD ME!
Ithaca, NY weirdly enough.
I spent a summer doing summerstock theatre there, and I never EVER wanted to leave. It’s this little liberal town, with all these amazing and cheap college-town esque places to go and eat and do things, and it’s got these crazy ass hills to drive around, and 100 waterfalls within 10 min of town, many of which I swam and played on, sometimes in the dark by starlight.
I was maybe not the safest adventurer that summer, but let me tell you, it was worth it. I actually got a tatoo of a shooting star on my foot to remind me of that summer and watching for meteors as we laid on a rock in the river listening to a waterfall. Glor. I. Ous.
Tara says
WORLD ME! My favorite place is Aruba. My husband and I honeymooned there, and have fallen in love with it! Thanks for a very cool giveaway!
Sarah K. says
WORLD ME! 38104!

My husband and I met in Dallas tx. Our families still live there. We just bought your first house in Virginia. So it’s pretty special too.
Denise says
WORLD ME!
My hometown — Decatur, IL! It’s the Soybean Capital of the World!! LOL I’m re-doing my basement with a Decatur theme (very tongue-in-cheek, I hope, to belie my inner nerdiness). So a local wall-size map would be AMAZING!!!
Celia says
WORLD ME!
The whole world or Italy, Spain or France~
Katie says
WORLD ME!
I love, love the city where we just bought our first home and currently live: Durham, NC. Although Portland, OR has a very special place in our hearts as well.

WORLD ME!
Annapolis, MD–I grew up in Maryland, but a lot closer to DC, and discovered Annapolis a little over three years ago. I love living here!

WORLD ME!
I’m definitely a big New England girl…I was born in Vermont, my boyfriend was born in Maine, and we live in New Hampshire. Live free or die! =)
But, our only international adventure together has been to Jamaica (twice…so make that adventureS), so that holds a special (and warm) place in our hearts.
