Accessories: Maps as Children's Room Decor

From Julie

From Julie & Janet:

We know it's not a new idea, but maps make the perfect wall adornment in children's rooms: aesthetically appealing, and think of all the geography to be learned.

My sister is a teacher and was lucky enough to score for us an old-style classroom roll-down map, complete with all the hardware and the wooden bars at top and bottom. It was pre-cold war, so has the good old U.S.S.R. on it - a little piece of history, as well as geography that we enjoy in our travel-themed guest room.
