Hope you used a Spirit Level to make sure it really is level. Oh and try to center it on the wall too; I too have OCD and rather serious case of it:)
Fortunately, it looks great where it is but it took so much shuffling and trying to decide where to line things up that I had to have a sit down. Wild times in business bay. |
Re: DECK THE HALLS AND GET THE TREES UP!!!!!
Years ago we had a Singaporean Chinese amah who would alter every picture in the house as she was firmly convinced that devils would sit on level pictures. My mother would go around and straighten them. The amah could move them again. Repeated every day for a year and a half to the rest of the family's amusement.

My SIL is OCD about everything being in the 'right' place. So anything I can move, even by a couple of millimeters, gets moved on every visit. She's a bag of nerves now :D

Yup! Mine ALWAYS remakes the bed, doesn't matter how I make it. She also lines up all the toiletries in height, and the remote controls by length. All cords & wires get rolled up. My underwear gets folded into squares! WTF!
I asked the last one if their company cleaned rugs, she said yes and I turned to get some paper to write down their number again and see if she knew who to talk to...next thing, she's hit the deck with the dustpan brush and started furiously brushing it! My Mum's cleaners got banned from my room when they were using window cleaner and water on my TV. |

A maid would be a nightmare, I had a girl house sit to look after the cat when we went to Tunisia and she spent 3 days cleaning when she got home stating it was not clean and she was dirty. Obviously looked perfectly normal to me |
