How do I say this politely... I but I think that looks quite...ugly. I like movies. A lot. But to me, this is not decorative.

second that. Looks like one of those goofy messes from a 'top design' wall.

The door, or the reels, but not both.

I don't understand the mix of the wooden frame with the reels. to me, there is a disconnect. But I do love movie reels - I have some and don't know how to use them in my new place.

It the old place, they looked like this:

Your set up in the old place looked great Eve. The reels were totally in context in the room - obviously your a movie lover. In this post's picture the reels are just round things with no context to relate to, but since they are so recognizable it leaves us searching for a context, to no avail.

Thanks Janice! And "yikes" at all the typos in my previous post.

One thing I do like from the picture is the way the owner hung one reel on top of another. It looks like they are on top of a projector - neat!
