All the measuring and visualization won't work if it just doesn't feel right for whatever reason. I think that boat is wonderful, but the sails being khaki read "dirty" next to your yellow walls, and the scale is off as you said. <br />Thank goodness you can return it and it's not a huge and costly mistake. Or maybe it will look better in another room? <br />Design sometimes is trial and error! <br />Have a great weekend! xo~Deloresvignette designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07377076950787846035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-41765539015089292222013-06-15T11:26:49.483-07:002013-06-15T11:26:49.483-07:00Wow, you are reading my mind!

I became really hard on myself, because I thought real designers never make mistakes.
