1. Wall Art
I saw this map of Paris in a local Restoration Hardware a few years ago and fell in love with the look. Â I had seen wall maps before but they always seemed looked either too sloppy or dominating. Â This look highlights the map but without demanding all the attention in the room. Â Keep in balanced! Â Learn how to make your own for under $100.

10. DIY Chalkboard Globe
It must be the combination of the teacher and traveler in me, but I am in love with these DIY chalkboard globes!  I’ve seen some around over the years, but I like how this one combines the chalkboard with the actual map.  Also, I don’t think you can go wrong decorating a home with a globe in the right space.  My DIY project list just got longer!  Thanks to Colors and Craft for the tutorial.
