wall art


A little project I tackled the other day: an old calendar of vintage maps becomes our newest piece of wall art.

  5. I LOVE vintage maps. This great stationary shop near me sells them (well, reproductions). I've put a few up on my walls. But, I've also used them as "placemats" for desk tops/workspaces, and it looks really nice.

    I love maps in general..
