It's easy to go too small. It's harder to go too big (unless it's height). So if you're on the fence between a few, go with the bigger of the two. Shape and style also matter. If you ever want help choosing, email me some pictures, I'd be happy to help you choose!

Is there a "rule" like hanging a picture to be eye height, or personal preference. By the way you do beautiful work, and are an inspiration to me - if she makes it so beautiful, maybe I can too.
