Designing a store should be easy....right?

So I've finally decided to build my own store and at least a dozen designs later I suddenly realise that finding just the right "look" isnt as easy as it sounds - lol. Its not just a look that I like and feel comfortable with, but I wanted it to be something that hasnt been used a dozen times before throughout SL.

I've attached a pic of the basic idea I'm working on at the moment, but something feels not right about it. I'm thinking its maybe the grass texture but I was hoping for some suggestions or ideas on what it is I might be finding jarring about the look.

The intention was to put some kind of garden setting in the middle but unless I can find whats not right with the feel of the place then I'll be pulling this down and starting *yet* again

oh I forgot to mention, the mountain look that you can see in the background goes around the tents on all 3 sides so it kind of looks like its in a gully (I hope!)

I think you have done a good job with getting the feel you wanted

making a store is sort of a process I think. When first set mine up, I try to reflect a little bit of
my personality, as well as provide a theme setting for the kind of clothes I make.

It has evolved a lot!

I think the best thing is to think of it as plant or flower. something that is always growing changing and blossoming as you do

good luck on your endeavor! It really is a lovely setting
