Map Wall Art

Several weeks ago, I posted about our family room & a few of the changes I wanted to make in the space.

I'm happy to say I have another project complete!


Here was my original list:




I wanted something a little less boxy to go on the wall over the T.V. Because the T.V. isn't centred on the wall, it was awkward to hang rectangular art on that wall. I needed something more free form.

I had these embroidery hoops in my crafting box & a bag of maps from my parent's travels. I put the two together & in about 10 minutes, I had new art!


I also really like how the maps nod to the map lamp that's in the room too. :)


Enjoy your day!

    Super cute way to show off maps! I see these hoops in every thrift shop...until now. You're going to cause a run on them with this idea :)

    I totally love this idea!!! My dream has always been to one day have a room in which the theme is maps and globes. This is a great way to decorate.

    Adding elements can change the entire look. These are good examples in putting up and starting out a design.
