Dear Ork Posters...

...thank you for offering my bland, bland apartment walls promise in an affordable, yet delightful way. <3

Ork Posters gets lots of blog love - reason being because their neighborhood map designs are striking and easy on the wallet.  It's a win-win situation.  SO, when I decided that a few of my walls needed some love... I turned to Ork:  

ORK POSTERS

Not to be confused with Orcs:

(SOURCE)

Don't be scared.  He's only real when you close your eyes.  Or when you're alone in the dark.  Or if you hear strange thumping noises.

When I checked out their website, I saw that they were running a holiday pop-up shop here in Chicago.  YES.  I love not paying shipping.  SO, Bossyboots and I locomoted to their temporary Montrose Ave. location post-haste.

I had a VERY difficult time deciding between the Chicago neighborhood poster and the Heart map... so I chose both.  Because it was the right thing to do.

Now, I just need to hang these suckers!

The Missing Piece...

... of decor.

You probably thought this was going to be some sort of profound, navel-gazing Pulitzer piece of literature? No? Sigh, you are definitely a regular reader o' mine and know better.  :)  I just need help decorating my bedroom!

Firstly, Room, meet my readers...

...And Readers, meet my room!

If you look carefully, you can see the drawing board on which I draw all my maps - I wasn't kidding about being a handdrawn artist...  It's a wonder I can even get this computer to turn on!

A little messy, but that's ok.

I am not big on clutter or tchotchkes, but I do have a few items that I really love...

My nesting set of Soviet leaders that my mom bought for me because she is awesome - I find them endlessly hilarious.

If you are new to my blog, you may not know I love me some Dia de los Muertos. You might think they are creepy, I find them beautiful... and a teeny bit creepy, but don't tell THEM, or they'll eat my brains while I'm sleeping.

Right next to my statuettes, you see a music box that my parents gave to me when I was little - I've kept it all these years because I am sentimental like that.

This is a sacred heart diorama that my sister gave to me, and I love it.

Clearly, I'm from Texas.

These are two East European miniatures that I picked up while visiting friends in Seattle.

I really love my Tiffany lamp...

...and my Crate and Barrel duvet (don't judge me for buying from a chain - I can't be indie cool all of the time... or ever.  I am a true nerd.) :)

So, I love my room - it's my favorite room in my apartment.  HOWEVER, I need to put something on the wall behind my bed.  I've narrowed down my options to three:

Choice A) A canvas wrap of a photo from my Sistamoon this summer

Choice B) This neat-o mirror from West Elm for $50

Choice C) This chandelier wall decal (in white) for $28

What do you think? Which option should I choose?
