d.i.y. new home decor things

I've been doing some more decorating around my apartment and taking down some old things. I really love this world map project, which you can read about on one of my favourite blogs, Treasures & Travels


The entire cost of the project was less than $25. I got the poster printed at the large format printer at my university, so it was $18 for a 3x2 ft poster. Then a few bucks for some embroidery floss and and pushpins. It might have been smart for me to put some cork board behind the poster to make it easier to push in the pins and cause less wall damage. 


The other thing is I did was nail this branch to the wall and hung some paper cranes off it. One day I was walking to work and there was this tree branch right in the middle of the sidewalk, so the most sensical thing to do was to take it home. I was going to spray paint it, but never got around to it. I kinda like it au naturel.
