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 our little honeymoon location – Niagara-on-the-Lake. A cute wine region in Ontario, Canada. It could be freezing in the dead of winter or hot in the middle of summer… its an amazing town with fantastic vino.
Steph says
World Me!
I’ve always lived in VA. Grew up practically in Shenandoah National Park, and now live in the Star City in beautiful SW VA. It’s a gorgeous state, and I love the Blue Ridge Mountains so much that I only lasted a year in Williamsburg before I had to come back westward. Too flat over there!
Diana says
World Me! I think a map of the USA so I can dream of visiting again someday soon – and plan all the places I’ll go with my husband and toddler. Maybe all the cities with fun parks…?! lol

World me!
I’ve lived in so many places and I’m too indecisive, so I’d have to chose a full map of the world.
Sophie says
World me! I’ve been lucky enough to travel all over the world, but one of the most special places has to be ile d’orleans, a magical island just outside Quebec City. (Quebec city, within the walls, is also pretty incredible)

Diego says
My favorite places are Bloomington, Indiana and Lyon, France. At the first I spent a couple of years as a child, while 5 and 6, with my family, we did everything and went everywhere together, traveled all over the US and learned English and sooo much more. At the second, I lived alone for the first time, learned French and cooked, cleaned and studied, at 17.
