Isn't this so obviously, deliciously perfect? I mean of course -- maps! In boy's rooms! What a clever way to add color and tie in a crazy non-color scheme together. Plus, it's educational and encourages exploration. What's not to love?

The owner of this bedroom was kind enough to post how she did it on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kbreenbo/168257442/in/photostream/">Flickr</a> -- be sure to check it out. The giant map/mural is from a company called Environmental Graphics, and while it's not cheap at <a href="http://egproducts.com/view-wall-mural.cfm?id=691">$150</a> I think it's well worth the impact.

I have since become a woman obsessed and have started obsessively researching maps. There's so much you can do -- I'm getting wanderlust just looking at these rooms!

This room from <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/">Pottery Barn</a> is totally doable -- just collect random maps and wallpaper the walls. They don't even have to match to look great.
