Decorating with Maps {Giveaway} | I’m Lovin’ It

If you are challenged by an empty wall, maps can often make a graphic statement, usually for little cost. Whether it’s a vintage print of where you live or a wall-size illustration of the world, a map can bring an unexpected punch to a room and at the same time make it more personal.
Earlier this week I shared my State Pride project I made for my office using an antique map print.
Decorating with maps is all the rage right now

My map came from the Etsy shop, Ancient Shades. They have reproductions of old maps from all over the world. Every map in the shop has been restored and enhanced . They are not selling only prints of scanned maps, I hundreds of hours have been invested removing stains, folding signs, scratches; also some of the maps needed reconstruction of small missing areas.
Take a look at some of their beautiful map prints:
Vintage Map of Scotland – print
Vintage State Map of Texas- print

My son graduated from college this year and has been wanting to decorate his first apartment with antique maps. I would ♥ love ♥ to surprise him with one of these beauties and have it framed!!
I would love to decorate a book shelf with maps.
I think I would have to frame it and hang it in the living room. I went there when you posted the original story and already marked a ton of their maps that I wanted. I would be hard to just pick one.
Oooo, I love the map giveaway! I’d frame it and hang it in the living room or office!! Love the old maps! 🙂
I would love the u.s.a. map I would put it in my son’s room.

I really love the Historic map of the world – vintage world map.
I love these map decorating ideas. I would take the one of the Boston Maps and make something cool for my husband. He loves maps and and would really appreciate one from his home town.
I love maps they fascinate me. I have lived many places and would love to decorate my bedroom with maps of these places. I was thrilled to see the site has an old map of Portsmouth NH one of my favorite former residences.
Thank you for the opportunity!
I’d frame it and use in my little boys’ room
These are amazing! I have the perfect place above our stairs for a great family picture! Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
I would love to have any of the Texas maps. My husband is from Gonzales, TX, home of the start of the Texas Revolution (Come & Take It). I would get the map framed for his office so he could show his Texas pride.
If I had anything left over I would get a couple of NM maps for our son’s room!
I would hang it in kitchen. I have a huge wall which has nothing on it. This would be perfect
I am from St. Louis too! So I love your MO map! I would love to frame that map, or maybe a map of Texas, where my daughter lives… so hard to decide, the maps are all so beautiful!
I have an old worn wood coffee table that I have been wanting to paint and then decoupage a vintage map onto the top of it. This would be perfect!! Thanks for the giveaway!
We are a military family and I would love to frame a map of each state we have lived in.
Definitely a map of Rome to frame for my daughter who is studying there this semester. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway.
LOVE how you did the framed vintage state map! I would love to do that with a vintage Texas map…we tend to be proud of our great state! 🙂
My favorite maps are world maps I would decopage these onto three canvas to make a tryptic
I would frame a large map and put it in our family room above the sofa.
Thanks for a great party Cheryl! Have a wonderful weekend 🙂 xo
I would hang this baby right in the guest bathroom faster than you could say map…
I was intrigued by the map of “hearts”. I am a big fan of the heart, and would love to have hearts cut out of the cities and countries maps we have travelled to.
Beautiful maps and exciting ideas on ways to use them! I would probably frame a map, but I would also consider decoupage onto a side table or onto one of my old boxes that I collect and refinish.
I would put a map of Paris over our bed – it’s where I got engaged!
I’d love to get a map of the west coast and mark all the lighthouses that my husband and I have visited, frame it and display it in our living room, right above our mess of vintage turquoise ceramics.
I’d use the map to decorate my oh-so-boring and bland bedroom.
I would have said frame it without hesitating, but some of those ideas have me thinking of using it as a tabletop…hmmmmm
I llike the split frame idea! I think I would like to try that.. and maybe group with family pictures since we are all spread out.
I just opened my own travel office after 14 years! These maps would look fabulous framed in my new space!
I’m throwing a “Best Dad in the World” map themed party for my father in law’s 70th. There will be globes, and pinwheels made of maps, and a custom cake topper of him holding the world! I’d love to have a beautiful antique map to include in the display!
Old maps are such a cool wall decor idea, especially for kids!
I am decorating a guest room and this would be perfect!
My best friend just got back from a trip to Italy, so I would get the Italy map and frame it for her 🙂
I would find the perfect frame and hang it on the wall.

I’m a homeschooling mom and love to decorate our room with maps – especially vintage maps! Would love to win this.
I would use the Antique world map print – 16 x 21 in my guest bedroom or in my reading nook! Our family is really into history and geography so this would be a fun addition!
These are just beautiful! I think I would simply hang it in my study!
I would love an antique world map to put near my desk where I work on my family history. I’d mark the place our family came from, fun!
I would love to have a print of Washington state (where my husband and I were both born and raised and met!) and frame it. It would be an awesome addition to our gallery wall!
I would choose the Vintage map of Scotland Print – 16 x 22 for my husband. His father came here from Scotland as a boy. It would look fabulous in the living room. Thanks –
If I had an antique map, I would frame it on the wall right beside the front door so when people went out it would encourage them to see the world!!!
It would look beautiful in my living room!
My first pick would be a map of our county-which my husband works tirelessly for. My second pick would be our state-IL It has it’s problems but is still our born and raised home. Decorating with maps connects t such a rooted, deep down evel doesn’t it?
I love maps and would pick the world map.
