Immerse yourself in Another Realm With Fantasy World Wall Maps
The moment I saw the map of Middle Earth illustrated in the first few pages of the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein, I was hooked. Fantasy world wall maps are available both online and in collectable retail stores like never before. Many collectors item versions of well known fantasy novels, such as Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia, even come with world wall maps to hang in your house.
Similarly, many popular video games on the market today come packaged with world wall maps of that particular fantasy realm. And if they’re not in the box, you’ll most likely be able to find them online. World of Warcraft is one such popular online game, commonly called a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), that has numerous detailed maps of that fantasy world available for purchase. Other popular games with fantasy world wall maps include Everquest, Ultima and Star Wars Galaxies.
Is seems the more popular a fantasy world becomes, the more the corresponding fantasy world wall maps become available for purchase and those in high levels of quality illustration. Take for example what happened a few years ago when the Lord of the Rings trilogy of motion pictures hit the big screen. Suddenly, the level of quality and the quantity of available fantasy world wall maps of Middle Earth skyrocketed. It was a good time to be a Tolkein fan.
But whether it’s a video game, board game, novel or short story, fantasy world maps are a great visual tool to help track the character’s journey. For example, if you’re reading the Hobbit you can refer back to the map of Middle Earth and trace Bilbo’s path from the Shire, through Rivendell, over the Misty Mountains, past Mirkwoood, all the way to Smaug’s Lair in Lonely Mountain.
The maps can come in pretty handy if you’re following along with the story descriptions and get a bit lost. Sometimes, the author’s narrative of the places the characters are traveling can become hard to follow. I remember reading through the Shannara series of books by Terry Brooks and, although he’s an excellent author and great at description, there was a section in the story where multiple characters were traveling in different directions at the same time. Each chapter would switch over to the progress of another character till after a while I felt a little lost. Luckily, the books had a map of the fantasy world so I was able to refer back to it during the story in order to get my bearings. But besides that, and perhaps more importantly, it definitely made for a richer story experience.
Speaking of which, I’ve noticed an interesting phenomenon when world wall maps are created for a fantasy realm. It’s as if the map brings a new sense of legitimacy, or “reality” if you will, to the world. It makes it seem like that fictional world actually exists in some kind of alternate reality. It adds another layer of believability to the story and the fantasy world in which it takes place.
Of course, in the end we know these fantasy worlds are pure fiction but their world wall maps allow our imagination to soar and enable that sense of immersion into the fantasy world that makes the experience more enjoyable.

Affordable Creative Home Remodeling
Using innovative ideas to beautify your home for the least amount of money is what creative home remodeling is all about. Though some of the creative home remodeling ideas are cost efficient, you will not always find remodeling as a money saving option. Years of experience teaches you cost efficiency, not luck. What are the most common creative home remodeling ideas:
* Granite counter tops- elegant kitchens of today display exquisite granite counter and table tops. Using granite tiles instead of larger slabs of granite will give the same effect but at a much more affordable price. The smaller size of tiles would give exactly the same overall look; however it will cost less because the tiles are made out of the broken granite and will look better, and you can replace any damaged piece without any worry.
* Ending with stone tile backsplash- since this seems to be a pre-requisite for modern homes, creative home remodeling gives you the same effect by tilting the tiles to form a diamond instead of a square. Tiles arranged in this way will add a new dimension to the wall, while saving a great deal of the tiles.
* Different sized cabinets-kitchens often have modular style cabinets that look nice, but are expensive. For those who want to get the same look at a cost-effective price, you can get the same impact if you customize the finishing of the cabinets in the kitchen taking care that you make them of different heights. This interesting look adds character and dimension to your kitchen.
* Flooring-using wood flooring gives a rich feeling to the home. This option comes at a very high price. An affordable option is to get the same effect while using laminated wood flooring. Not only can you cut expenses to a very large extent, you can also bet on the fact that almost no one can tell the difference.
* Molding and their impact in creative home remodeling – molding usually creates a very elegant ambiance in the house. There is no doubt about it, this is expensive. However, as with all the above, here, too, we have a suggestion with which you can have your elegance and the cash too. Mix and match smaller pieces of molding until you get the desired effect.
