maps

we've long loved map walls in children's rooms.  it's great to think about teaching our babies about the big, big world in which they live and establishing an awareness of this world and their greater surroundings.  as everyone who loves to travel knows, there are so many unbelievable things to see and experience on planet earth and instilling a sense of adventure and excitement, one of life's great joys, seems like something a map wall could initiate.

the two best map wallpapers we've found are both by ralph lauren.  one is more playful and one is more sophisticated.  a playful one seems more fitting now but a sophisticated one seems like it could get more mileage as the child grows up.  decisions, decisions.

any thoughts?

how...

...great does this asian scene behind antiqued mirror/glass look?  it's got us wondering about all the other possibilities this application could look great on.
