dining room,  Rooms I've Created

A fun Friday find

So I have this spot on my dining room wall. I have been thinking now for more than a year what to put there and I finally came up with something. A map.

I was shopping at my favorite antique store and found some old maps they were selling, and I fell in love with them. The only problem was that they were large.  Larger than my space could take.  Still, I loved the idea of it, so I searched online and found an antique map that was the right size for my wall.

I found a store from pinterest that carried old maps but the price was pretty high. So I decided to look around on Amazon. I put the name of the map in their search bar and guess what? They had it and so many more to choose from.  You can actually purchase a map and the wood kit and put it together by yourself.  So fun! They have a lot of fun options to decide on. Who would have guessed. So my tip this Friday afternoon is to take a minute and see what fun treasures are on Amazon for your home.  It might surprise you what you can find.

 

I'm Erin, a busy mom of three, chauffeur, cook, housekeeper, and wanna be decorator. I love old movies, good books, and a daily trip to Lowes. We have recently bought a new home...one we are fixing up and changing everything. This blog is to record our renovating journey. This is not the first house we have done. Actually, it is our third. My husband and I love a project. Any project. We both love working on our home, have the same taste, (which is great), and love working and re purposing things on our budget. We can show you how to put together a high end and creative look without breaking the bank. Taking something old and recreating it into something new and exciting for any room is my passion. Hope you enjoy this decorating journey with us!
