Love the comparison. Just goes to show how you can toss a little low (or high) into a room and there you go!

Also, I gave you a Sunshine Award today!

Jessica said...

Wow! They're nearly identical. Just a little bit of patience can yield amazing deals.

Flory said...

I guessed wrong, but I liked the second room better. Very interesting challenge. Glad I found your site through Design Milk.
