a life's design: Mapped Out...

Mapped Out...

I am helping a guy friend makeover a room in his house. He is in real need

of artwork for his room and loves the outdoors, so we decided that maps

would be perfect. Now we just have to find some.

Design Esquire said...: I love maps too. I got my husband an antique map of the place we went on our honeymoon for our first wedding anniversary. It was less expensive than I thought - in case you are looking, here's the place I ordered mine from - http://www.rare-maps.com. I had a good experience with them. Good luck with the search, and I would love to see what you pick out!; July 13, 2009 at 1:45 PM
