Topographical Bedroom Furniture

To turn an average ordinary dresser into something extraordinary, why not put a few maps on its exterior? Kristen Campbell, a writer from the home living blog Domestic Ease, is the creator of this map dresser. Here, she explains her creative process and the dresser's sentimental significance:

What I did was opened up all of the maps to take a good look at their individual color schemes... Then, I divided the maps into four places our little family has lived for the four drawers: Virginia (my childhood), California (my hubby & I during college), Guatemala (where our beautiful adopted daughter was born), and then Texas (where we live now).

If you're thinking that this dresser entailed a long, complicated process to create, think again. In fact, it was just a matter of cutting old maps into long rectangles and gluing each piece onto the exterior drawers with Mod Podge and a sponge brush. Campbell then painted over the paper's edges to make sure they fully adhered to the drawers.
