To personalize our coach a bit more, we decided to replace a generic artwork in the kitchen with something a bit more meaningful to us.

Here’s the old artwork, after removing it from the wall:

The empty wall:

We got a wooden US map to feature in its place:

The map comes in several pieces:

We also got a 24×36” wooden frame, an opaque white plexiglass sheet of the same size, and some foam boards to fill out the space behind it:

I used Command-brand double-sided strips to help adhere it to the wall:

I also used screws through the plexiglass to secure it to the wall; the screws were later hidden behind stickers (the PostIt notes mark the map placement):

The wooden map is attached with double-sided adhesive strips:

And mounted to the plexiglass:

It has a nice 3D relief:

Hawaii:

Alaska:

Some hummingbird decorations:

We added pins (that came with the map) on states we’ve visited:

Plus stickers around the map for some places we’ve been:

The current state:

Over time, we will add more pins and stickers, to help commemorate our travels.
