I have loved maps for a long time. They are interesting, have wonderful colors and shapes. After my Aunt in Palm Desert CA passed away a few years ago, I was helping my Mom clean out her house and in an old metal cabinet in the stroage room, I found a whole drawer full of old vintage maps from the 60's. There were old ones of California, Palm Springs, Orange County and lots more! My Mom, (she doesn't get it), wanted me to throw them all out! No Way, they came home with me! As of yet I have'nt done anything with them, but I did get some great ideas from these photos on pinterest.
Are you inspired?
They have really inspired me!
Now, all I have to do is figure out where to hang this amazing map of Nashville I found at the flea!

I just got a stack of maps at an estate sale!! They are all from 60's.
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas! I was thinking of framing them and doing a whole wall of old maps!
What inspiring ways to use maps - love the lined bookcase.
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreetings! Just dropping by to wish you a lovely weekend! I love those vintage map ideas from Pinterest, and am interested to see what you decide to do with the vintage maps that you came across! ;) You mentioned in an earlier post that you were from the OC? That is great! Where do you live now? Anyway, take care and have a fantastic weekend!!!

I love old maps, too. I love the ideas you found. I have a framed map which I love up in my home. It adds a little history to your space. If you decide to do something with them, I'd love to see the end result!
