maps as wallpaper

i have always been a fan of maps. whether they are old a.a.a. maps used to wrap birthday presents, topographic maps used to decorate the walls, maps of national parks that bring back a special memory of a trip, ork poster maps that make a graphic presence in a room or national geographic maps that have a sense of history. i really appreciated this room with the blue, white and gray nautical maps used as wallpaper above the bead board. great idea to add a punch to a room.
