This actually worked for me. Sneaky but effective.
I have been planning to install a stove in our living room and my wife is not too enthusiastic about giving up so much floor space. I had my sights set on the big-boy Equinox, a large stove by any measure. But I did not think she'd go for it. So, I built two cardboard mock-ups the size of two "stoves." I built one to the dimensions of the Equinox and the second one I just built a few inches bigger in every dimension. I called this faux-stove the "Blaze King 8000." I was just trying to think of the biggest bad-ass sounding name for a woodstove I could, no matter that it doesn't exist (no offense to Blaze King owners). I know my wife won't bother to research it.
So, I put both mock-ups in the living room and I tell her, "Hun, I really want this big one, the Blaze King 8000. Oh, and this is something called the Equinox." She looks at them and says, "no way you are getting that Blaze King thing, you'll have to get the Equinox.
Perfect. I love it when a plan comes together.
