Lately my office has been holding quite of bit of furniture that needs to get painted for our OKL shop, but due to cold weather that hasn’t been happening. Spring where are you? I’m so over Winter.
With my office acting like storage I’ve been working a lot from our basement aka the man den. Jon picked out everything in here and I’ve been staring at world map wallpaper for what seems like years now. Don’t get me wrong I love a good map especially in a man den setting, but they are just so manly.
I set out to find some more feminine takes on the map trend and I think you will be all be pleased with my picks.
Illustrated World Map from The Alice Tait Shop.Perfect for a nursery and you can have it signed by the artist and also personalized if you want her to jot a baby’s name or sweet note on it.
Ah, this is the one place I’d disagree with you. I love maps, any and all. But I’m not a fan of the pink and purple ones. The last couple you have here are neat, but overall, I’m a traditionalist when it comes to maps.
I don’t think they’re masculine as long as they’re not surrounded by massive furniture, dark colors, and other masculine details. My living room is black and cream with accents of a pale blue-green, and I have an old school map above my sofa. It’s a very dainty sort of room, and the map just brings the extra color in so well.
But maybe part of it is a map lets me dream of travel… 🙂
Oh no Jenn is this our first fight? 🙂 JK. I like both masculine and feminine versions. The ones I have been staring at day in and out are more in the cream/ta/burgundy color story so they are a bit more manly.
I love that paint splatter version! It’s also nice that it’s totally in my price range, and is super colorful! I have been looking for a painting like that for a while, but that might help tide me over until I can find something worth spending bigger bucks on!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]

It might be very 80’s of me, but I’m loving the splatter paint map. Such great colors!
I agree love it too!

I agree! I loved the price point!
I was searching etsy today for butterfly images for my daughter’s room and found this rather girly map, which made me think of you & this post:
