08 Sep Sunday LIVING: Top 20 Ways To Repurpose Maps For Home Decor
Whether you have a new nest like me, or are looking for affordable ways to spruce up an old one, we think you’ll thoroughly enjoy these Top 20 Ways To Repurpose Maps For Home Decor. As someone who is a firm believer in the hand-written note and still prefers turning pages of books and magazines over arrowing through an e-reader, I find it hard to believe that these colorful pieces of paper that have led us around the globe and back again will one day be obsolete. And to most, are already considered ancient artifacts. It’s actually a little sad to this 30-something girl who still has a collection of very thin, torn folded up maps stored safely in her Let’s Go Europe. Maps are interesting, historic, romantic, and tell a story. Since we recently moved to a new state I have suddenly found a new love for these geographic artifacts and have dedicated a wall in our home to showcase maps from my old home state, maps of my new home state, and maps of places we’ve traveled to (which I hope to greatly expand on in the next couple of years!). I’ve been perusing my favorite Etsy Shops and Home Design Blogs for inspiration and have come across an abundance of ways to repurpose and upcycle maps. These affordable and oh-so-clever ideas are projects you can DIY or – if you’re like me – can leave it to these incredibly talented Etsy artists.
