As you know, the dining room is my big decor project right now, consuming every nap time during the day, and sometimes more than that. Thankfully, the bigger parts of the room are coming together nicely and I'll be moving on to window treatments this weekend. Which brings me to the point of this post:

I love the paisley design and the colors are perfect for what I want (or so I thought). But, in real life, what looks like a soft blue is actually a very bright turquoise! NOT what I was going for.
