where do you want to go?

shall we sail? shall we fly? utilizing maps, old and new, in interior design is not only fun, sending you and your guests imaginations soaring to exotic places, but maps also warm spaces, adding color, texture...adding interesting.

so... do you decorate with maps? we have a very nice one, that used to be framed, and i say used to because i broke the glass one day while moving it, oops. so...it's waiting for another frame and of course new glass ;)

i was trying to find a photo i had seen a while back and couldn't locate it. it's one of my favorite map decorating ideas and was on martha stewart. she took a long hallway and papered the ceiling with a mish-mash of maps. it was just perfect! as you walk the long hallway your mind travels to anywhere and everywhere. i love that! if you have a map decor story, do tell! they are never out of style either are they? they are in vogue whether vintage or brand spanking new. really a perfect design element to pull from. enjoy your tuesday everyone!
