The map and the hallway

There's this upstairs hallway that I've never really bothered to do much with but going with the home decor fervour, decided it was just the spot for a world map.  That way we can learn by 'osmosis' as we walk by daily - 'O, is that where Kazakhstan is'...

Bought a nice 'vintagey' one on ebay - glued it onto a white masonite sheet that I had lying around

Trimmed it with some beading painted black.  Slipped in pictures of friends on the side

White board section will be updated with 'fun' questions like - 'Find Moldova' or 'What is the capital of Hungary?'
