My new map decor is part of a review for Bigstock.
My kids are all getting older and that means that our decor is also changing a bit. While our gameroom still sees a lot of playtime, I’ve decided to start changing a few things to make it a bit more appealing to the whole family. The first big change was to add some map decor to the gameroom. I love the look of maps and I like that this artwork might also help my little ones with their geography lessons.
Changing up the artwork in a room is such an easy {and often inexpensive} way to add a whole new look and give a room a fun update. Replacing our vintage carnival posters and game boards with this typographical art from Bigstock instantly gave new life to our gameroom. {And you can make a fun change too … keep reading for the chance to win your own poster!}
In addition to our new artwork, I thought it would be fun to use the map as inspiration …
… for a fun state pillow.
I used a dropcloth from the hardware store and sewed an envelope-style pillow cover …
… then used my cutting machine to cut the state of Texas and the letters.
I fused it onto the pillow and stitched it around the edges.
I love the way it looks against our vintage IKEA striped couch.

Ooops, I posted before I was ready. I was wondering how I find the image that you have as the poster? Is there a a specific link for that or do i just scroll through all the map images?

It’s actually not a Bigstock link but rather an art.com link: http://www.art.com/products/p13885065628-sa-i8776345/michael-usa-modern-blue.htm?upi=ap8776345_pc0_fi0_sv6_it1_vrv1. You wouldn’t be able to download the image from Bigstock but you could order a copy. And Bigstock has agreed to let that be one of the options for winning!
