Hello sweeties,

As, I am flipping through photos of our recent trip to Rome and Naples and writing my (long awaited I know I know) post about it, I stumbled upon some amazing maps on the net.

Me and my husband are looking for a really large map to hang on our living room. The idea is to have a big map to cover a whole wall and pin (or glue, or hang) photos of the places we've visited together. We have thought of many ways to do this but haven't decided yet.

I would definitely use a gold colored map for this project, like the one from Vicky from ArtFilesVicky on etsy.

I like this idea of Ashley from this amazing blog from Texas.

I also love this map. It is great for a dining room decor too, if you have one that is!

I like the idea of using pins to denote the places we've been, but I am not sure if the paper of the map can withhold a large number of pins without threading away. I love what Amanda from witandwistle made with a silver map.

I also love this watercolor world map made by MapMapMaps on etsy.

If we decide not to use our photos after all, I am really in favor of a world map wallpaper. I love this one from rebelwalls.com.
