While searching around ETSY for little pieces to put on a client’s bookshelf, I came across the cutest shop: Elizabeth St. She makes the most adorable pinwheels and paper balls using old maps.
I would love to put these as a mobile for a nursery, if we were going for the “well traveled look.” I’ve been wanting to do a nursery like this where you collect fabulous items from around the world – such as bright striped rugs from Peru and Ottomi fabric from Mexico for some of the bedding, a JuJu hat from South Africa – you get where I’m going with this. And then these map balls of far off lands to tie in the look. Hopefully, one day I’ll find a client who is on board with the idea. Here’s a room that has a similar feel to what I’m thinking…
Designed by Erin of Design Crisis.
Elizabeth St. also makes the cutest map pinwheels. I would love to use them at a party and then gather them all in a mason jar and use them as a permanent bouquet as shown below…
How sweet! See more at Elizabeth St., here.

So cute! I love maps used in new ways. The grown up nursery is gorgeous. My favorite is the stuffed giraffe head mounted on the wall!
