That is the beauty of design. We interpret things differently which is really awesome. Your vision was much more creative whereas Camille had a much more technical perspective - again so interesting to me.

My favorite part of your post is the link between the Viking hat and the lamp.

What a fun idea and you both have such an eye and imagination. I found the image to be intriguing and not at all somber. I seem to be drawn more and more to use of textures rather than colors in interiors. I especially loved your addition of images with similar textures or shades of grey.
