Decorating with maps has become really popular these days.
I decided to cover some books with old maps for my sons room.



Fold the overhang over the inside covers.

    What a great blog you have here! You have done some fantastic projects and I love what you’ve done with your house. It is just so warm and pretty! I also love the boys’ room. It’s adorable. I look forward to seeing what you do next!

    I love this. It reminds me of middle school when everyone had to cover their textbooks with brown paper grocery bags to protect them. Except this is WAY more stylish! Super cute for a kid’s room, too!
