@dunklekatze & @mirandabee -- Thank y'all! And yeah, my boss didn't understand why I wanted it: "But it's... a map. An OLD map. And it's huge." I was so nervous to ask for it (I had only been the...
My biggest piece of art is a map they were going to throw away at an old job I had (it was in the office of a guy who quit, and they were finally cleaning out his office months later). Why he had ...
@triedthistwice -- not that I disagree about the classism, but West Elm ain't exactly cheap, and the look is definitely marketed to the upwardly mobile. (And given IKEA's locations, it's not terrib...

Surely I cannot be the only person who would be incapable of not knocking them all to the floor every time I walked by.
Where is the poll option for I have looked but always feel really guilty afterward?

I like this so much, I am voting for this even though it is OU week. ;)
