I wish I knew how to post a picture, but I can not seem to figure it out. Please help anyone!! Thank You, Kathi

Okay, I am feeling so much better about this. How can all my decorator friends possible be wrong! ;) Les, glad you looked again! Red, come to think about it.. I freaked out with the Blonde paint as well (seems to be a trend here with me!!) LOL. I actually thought it was WAY too yellow, but once the floors and such were in, it's nice.. I am happy with it. Tomorrow, I am going to see what they "offer" to do, and see if I can at least get a refund on the mistake. (either edge would have been the same amount). I think I deserve one just for the stress!! LOL DH loves it, and I think I just need to reach that final picture of completion. It didn't help to have the builder call on Friday and tell us that it would look horrible and that the kitchen and island was just too small, and I'd be much happier in the end having the edge totally removed. (he just wanted an end to it - and wrap it up) I just couldn't see past it! Thanks to everyone here (as well as the kitchen forum) and my staring at the pictures 1000 times, I feel at peace (not 100% - but close) with keeping it.

Kees_Lover, Thank you for sharing your landscape prints framed showing me so many different ways a picture can be framed and look nice. I really do appreciate all the helpful people on this decorating site. I am now thinking that I like my print despite how much green it has so I have to decide on a frame. I will try to take pictures tomorrow. My sofa and recliner are called taupe but to me is a leather by Natuzzi that is more on the beige taupe side and is very neutral but does not like gold frames and since I have two glass lamps with chrome bases and chrome filaments on top of the very white shades on the glass tables next to the sofa and a triangle glass table in front with the green glass edging, BM Bone White Walls, White baseboard molding and Brazilian Cherry Floors, I am wondering if a Bronze frame will go or will it clash with the sofa or the chrome? Bronze is more of a brown right? I also like a brown espresso very ornate frame but I wonder if it would be too dark. My picture if of Japanese Maple trees with dark Pine Trees and some other lighter green trees and some trees with orange and yellow but the green dominates with red the second color. There is a bridge and a green pond probably from algae. My room needs some color so bad and I wish I had chosen a dark brown or Mahogany sofa and not taupe years ago since it took me a year to buy some furniture when I bought my first home. Do you think a 40"X 30"size print would be good that will get bigger with a mat and frame for an 81" long sofa? I never bought pictures before except for the small framed prints in 2007 from JCPenney. I went there and they have no more framed prints for sale in their store.

You might be talking more about the spacing itself but... Don't hire a handyman...posterboard or newspaper is your friend! Measure and cut out all your sizes, use painters tape to move them around until you get them just how you want it. Mark your pencil hole right on the paper and hammer through. You can even push the nail through just enough to make a slight dent in the wall and then remove the paper to add the nail if you want. I make mock ups of everything. My walls would look like swiss cheese if I didn't!
