Map Wall Art

I have had a project like this "pinned" on Pinterest for awhile now.

Yesterday, I finally knocked it off the "to do" list.

Yes, I have yellow walls in my kitchen.

Yes, I know it's daring.

Yes, I've had two people in the last week ask if I plan on keeping it that color.

I do.

For now.

In fact, here's the color pallete for the kitchen.

Found on Pinterest, of course.

{change out that plum color for navy blue and the top color for white}

There are so many great ways to use maps to decorate.

I chose this pin to recreate.

I found 8 11x14 canvases at Michael's.

Found the map at Office Depot.

Then simply traced around the canvases and cut them out.

Hot glued them to the canvas.

(yes, I said hot glue)

And hung them up on the wall!

If I wasn't hosting the next Pinterest Challenge, I'd enter it.

Speaking of...

it starts on August 5th.

More details to come later - but it's BIGGER and BETTER this time!
