Website Problems

I have been having problems with my designs for my website.

I had this big idea in my head about what I wanted to to now it seems that I have left it too late and that I should have planned it earlier.

What I originally wanted from this was a really good looking website, but I'm disappointed with what I have been able to achieve. 

I wanted to have a really cool image in the background of me sitting in a garden with my back to the camera and a big cotton sheet in the main section of the image. this was going to be my background and "blank" area for images and type.

I got told that this wasnt a good ides from someone close to me. 

I wish I had not listen to them
