After some painful conversations I still can't seem to get it right. Is this something that I am doing wrong, or is the plain fact that they will never be happy.

The only skill I have when it comes to home renovations is actually pick out what I would like the final product to look like; either than that, I'm not much help.<br /><br />Nathan sort of helped out. Yeah sorta... uhmm he did all the work. So thank you so much. I absolutely love it.<br /><br />Not to sure why my Christmas tree stand is in the first picture?!??<br /><br />Also one more thing.
