    A globe offers an accurate representation of the world, whereas, maps are distorted representations of the world. A globe allows you to better understand the locations of each place in the world, but lacks sufficient detail. A map contains high amounts of detail for each location, but does not accurately display the true distances between locations.


Examples of when to use a Globe:

  • To see the relationship between different locations in the world.
  • To get accurate distance measurements between two locations.
  • To see the paths ships and planes take when traveling to different locations.
  • To understand the ocean currents and weather.


Examples of when to use a Map:

  • To see the streets in a country or city.
  • To see geographic details such as small lakes and rivers.
  • To see the location of small cities, towns and villages.

Love my videos but don't have the time to visit Ask the Decorator every day? I understand. That's why I offer e-mail alerts.

By signing up for the e-mail alerts, you'll receive an e-mail each time two new videos are published on Ask the Decorator. The e-mail will have the headline for each video along with a short summary.

If you're interested in the video, click on the headline and you'll be taken straight to that video. If none of the videos interest you, trash the e-mail and move on with your day without wasting the time of visiting my Web site. Brilliant, I know. Hey, I'll do anything to make your life easier. Just ask, or in this case, sign up.

Each topic I cover is divided into three segments: a video, article and checklist. That way you can dive right in with a video, skim the quick tips from a checklists or ensure you make the right decision for your home with an in-depth article. I want you to have the information you need in the way you need it.
