These first two images are my favorites - I love the "faded" black & white maps and this would be as easy as taking any old atlas (old, new, no matter) over to your local Kinko's and then framing with a stack of these Ikea frames. At $4.99, it's OK to buy 12 or so, right?

And then again, the colors found in traditional maps are some of my favorites....
And, for the over-acheivers among us, you could certainly collect or copy vintage maps for a more "old world" look.
And, lastly this one has been one of my favorites - interior designer Kim Coleman hired an artist to paint a nautical chart of Long Island for a guest cottage she was working on. (As seen in House Beautiful). I love the "blueprint" style!
