Here's a great DIY project. This map decoupage coffee table is at the Firefly Café in Santa Cruz, California:

It looks great even when it gets worn around the edges:

Now that I think about it, I'm going to do this treatment on young Marcel's headboard. If we get tired of it or want a change I can always make a slipcover to go over it.

    Sometimes DIY furnitures are beautiful than the elegant one.

    I think, this theme is quite actual now. Sometimes DIY furnitures are beautiful than the elegant one.

    Love the idea of attaching a map of meaning to you. I made a simple bedside table using Dove chocolate wrappers to cover the top of a simple three legged table. I selected sayings of meaning to me. The Dove chocolates were an inside joke for my family.
