oooh the places you will go

There is something about maps. I find them fascinating and inspiring. And now..I am all about repurposing them. Just take a glimpse at all the cute things you can do with maps.

You can bet your bottom dollar I will be doing this! You know me and how much I adore "prettifying" {yes...I am creating new words too} lamp shades.

Oh...how this mobile would be lovely in an office or playroom


Who needs GPS when you have this as your clutch?


I love garlands...and this is beyond cute.

And of course the whole repurposing of maps with the 3 hearts of: where we met, married, and honeymooned is simply wonderful. If the nest was still around this would be THE thing to make. I guarantee it. :)

So I think I am going to see if I can spy a few old maps to repurpose...on to the hunt. Do you have anything you are keeping an eye out for?

Cheers~

  3. I think I just pinned like 4 of these ideas!! I love maps so much. I need to do the art piece for my new gallery wall. @Pine Tree Home, that is such a great idea to use a map as a shelf liner....or as a drawer liner! Great post, e!
