Here is the thing. My previous apartment was everything you can expect from a men's place. White walls with nothing on it. So I decided to do something about my new place. And today, thanks to pieces like this, I'm getting close to what a decorated apartment should be. I didn't followed the directions though. I fell like 2 "S" like on the picture were too much for one wall so I put one on the living room and one in the dining room. Please don't expect these pieces to scream your name and sing for you. But they are definitely something that won't go unnoticed. I put an empty vase, one of my sister picture and a nice decorative bowl. It does the tric and I'm satisfied. You will love it, and I you don't, your guess will. Then you'll decide whether you'll keep it or send it back.
