New Booth Mock Up

Just some quick photos of my booth in progress. Comment/critiques welcome. Photos were taken this morning and have not been edited. Also I only place earring cards on the displays to make sure they were visible.

I have one week to get this workable before my next show.

Here is my old booth in case you need a comparison.

Help! Booth re-design in progress :)

For the second time this month, I have had a disappointing show. In both cases, there was not the traffic that I had anticipated. That being said, during the show I noticed a very visible phenomena, that traffic that was there tended to look past much of my booth. Nothing was really drawing them in.

Here is a photo of my booth from Saturday

Something that I personally noticed is that I need more signs. A sign here and a sign there just does not cut it.

Anyway I really felt like I need to update the booth and its total look.

So I have started with the color scheme. The current booth may be too dark. So I was thinking brighter with dark accents. But I am planning on adding more cream into this as well. 

I bought some new table cloths in this turquoise color, and I am thinking about getting some fabric paint to add in the cream and brown elements.

I also bought some peg boards to add sides to my booth.  I went ahead and painted them in a turquoise as well. But I plan to add some designs to the board. I am just torn as to which....

Here are the boards.

Ok so here is where I need your help. I am planning on adding some designs onto the boards. Here are the two that caught my eye the most.

From Online Inspiration's blog.

Target's wall decal collection

Which design do you like better for a turquoise and chocolate wall board in a booth?

Update:  I made a slight mockup to look at colors (With Photoshop, so please do not be too harsh on the graphics here :] ) 

Also I found these that I was thinking about adding rather than paint to create the circles:

 Ok here is the mockup

 Via Photoshop, I added the peg board with mirrors, added curtains, and change the cloth color to the turquoise.
