Obviously I'm not creative enough, because they look incredible in this kitchen tour from AT's The Kitchn. (More pictures, including more globes, here.)
And more vintage style geekery -- the backsplash is made of yardsticks. (Doesn't it work well with the butcher block cabinets?) Here's the how-to.
The kitchen (& great ideas) belong to Ashley Ann. And if you're not envious enough, she did the whole kitchen facelift for $500.

I actually have upwards of 35 globes in my kitchen alone, also above cabinets. Globes and maps are a theme throughout my home... I have a globe or map of some kind in every room in my house-- with the exception of the bathrooms, which mostly house prints from the places I've visited-- a painting of the Acropolis from Athens and papyrus with my name on a cartouche from Cairo in the powder room, for example. I have so many maps that I've even started hanging some in my garage!
I can't get behind the yardsticks as a backsplash. I have a thing about cracks and crevices in food prep areas.
Mamacita, the yardsticks have something behind them so it's not very cracky at all.
I love that website but I loathe the fact that I can't save pictures to my computer. Nothing sucks more than finding something you like and want to do in your house and not being able to save a photo of it for later inspiration.
