When DIY Goes Wrong

    Awhile back I found something on Pinterest that I wanted to try. I have a large wall in my living room that needs some kind of art or decor. Right now there's a painting on it but it's too small. So when I found the idea below, I thought, perfect!


I went to Omer Deserres, a local retailer of art and craft supplies. I found the following sticker in their store. Not exactly the same but I thought it would make do.


No. It did not. It was much smaller than I had anticipated, which I fully admit was my fault for not reading the measurements. I found another wall I can put it on but it is still too small to hang regular 4x6 photos. So if I found photos and picture frames small enough for the tree, you would need to walk right up to the wall in order to see them! The worst part is that I obviously can't return it. I don't know what to do with it now. What a waste of money. And I still have a large empty wall! Argh...
