Old Maps





I rearranged our living room this past week and moved all the pictures on the walls around. For my living room the theme is travel. At least that's what I'd like the theme to be. We have lamps that look like stacked luggage and we have a trunk that my aunt gave us when we moved into our house. Last summer at my grandma's house my grandparents were getting rid of a lot of their stuff but hung onto it and let the family go through it all and pick what they wanted. Well, I found 3 old maps that my grandma had pasted onto some wood for an art project. I fell in love with them. They just looked so cool! I had to talk Adam into letting me take them home and he's glad that we did. They just look so cool on the wall. Well, at a Christmas party we had with my mom's side of the family my grandma said she had found another one that she had and asked me if I wanted that one as well. I jumped on the opportunity! So now I have all 4 on my wall in the living room and they look wonderful! I'm glad I have something to remember my grandma by when she passes on (hopefully not for a long time!). My mom loves them too and is glad that they're being kept in the family.

What a cool idea! I don't know what I will do when I have to decorate my own house. I just hope that I'm as talented and creative as you are :D
