At our New York office, seeing as we are a nice group of self-proclaimed logistics geeks, the walls are covered with maps. Just by turning my head 90 degrees to the left, I catch a glimpse of India, China, Turkey, and in fact the entire world. I love this global view so much, that I am incorporating it in to my home. I am redecorating my New York apartment, and while looking for inspiration I found myself browsing through various creative ideas on how to use maps and globes as decoration. Sit back and enjoy the view of the world as you might have never seen it.
