Here's another good way to make use of old maps. We got this ikea bureau from friends who were moving out of state and didn't need to take it with them. I was thinking about painting it, but ended up not wanting to go to the trouble. The top drawer originally had a glass panel that was broken and removed at some point. I fitted the empty space with foam core and then cut up an old atlas book and used glue dots to adhere four overlapping pages to the front of the drawers. I especially liked these maps because of the interesting combination of pinks and blues. The map hanging over the bureau is of the clans of Scotland that I found at a library book sale.
