I am decorating the study in my house and I think that I will continue to go with an academic theme. I have most of my professional library in there but the walls have always seemed too empty to me and the entire room boring. I decided to find images of studies and after that I decided to decorate the walls with maps of places that I’ve been to or that I am planning on going to. I think that I will like the maps more if they have a personal meaning to me.

First I hung a Russia map behind the sofa. I went to Russia when I was a sophomore in college. I didn’t learn the language much but I loved the food. I went to the Kremlin while I was there. It is so amazing and the colors are unbelievable. It looked even more stunning, if possible, at night. When it is dark all around it and strategic lights are on it, it will take you breath away, to use a cliche.

Next I will hang a map of Europe above my desk. I spent a couple of days in France and a week in Spain last year. I really liked both places. Paris had too many people there for my likings but I still enjoyed seeing everything. I loved the Eiffel Tower. It, too, looked stunning when it was all lit up. Because of things like that, I can see why it is the City of Love.

And I think I will have enough room left a couple of Japan maps. I’ve never been to Japan but I plan on going in a couple of years. I think visiting Okinawa would be great. There is so much history there. I really like Japanese pop culture. Tokyo always looks so alive when I see it on television.

I think I will like my newly decorated study. It will not be boring but not too loud.
