Tried to do Lake Tahoe on my own - measurements are same but my site looks bigger than original. Why?

Tried looking at finished Tahoe page to design on my own. But I noticed that everything in my site looks much bigger than the original Tahoe site, and I am using workspaces. As an experiment, I replaced my practice code with code the final downloaded code - and my site still has bigger content. what's going on? It didn't function like this when I was following along. Really confused...Help?

can you provide us the code so that we can help you.

In this case, i feel the browser refresh is not working properly. can you close the workspace & browser, then open it again and check.

That's just it. I erased my css and put in Treehouse's from the final project - just to see if it would match layout and sizes of their final page - and mine was still wider with bigger fonts - using the exact same code. The Dev Tools' inspect element, showed the width on my divs to be wider, even tho I had the same css measurements, too. I'll mess around some more - I've got to be doing something wrong. Thanks for your response : )
