This is one of the most asked about pieces in my house. Hubby and I are RH, Pottery Barn, West Elm, fanatics. If it's rustic or vintage, we dig it. Unfortunately, our bank account doesn't share the same sentiment. When I came across the L'ISLES 1720 World Map in the RH catalog, my heart skipped a beat. Love at first sight was quickly replaced by overwhelming sticker shock. Still, I had to have it!
So the wheels started turning. I'm lucky to have a marketing and design wizard for a husband. We recreated the Mappe Monde image, with the same vintage look, same grand scale, and same framed layout, but at 88% off!
See the finished product below.
Interested in this for your home?
We'll share our recommendation on where to print and where to frame.

Hanging was the hardest part of this project, but overall we are super
pleased with the outcome, and even more pleased with the cost.
Thanks for looking!

Hi Bonnie, I LOVE this!!! I want to use this as a base to create a additional story on top of the map... but want to get some idea on how you created this. Would it be possible to share some thoughts?
Rachael-
I am looking to buy a copy of your map. I have emailed you, but do you sell them?
This looks amazing and this is the piece my husband and I have been looking at for MONTHS! I would love to know how you did this and/or where you found the map! Thank you! I will also email you. :)
