Love the 3 over 3 -- you got it!! The lamps don't bother me so much. I like 'em. Back to the comforter now -- maybe a white background and a pattern with some black/blue/grey/taupe. It is coming together. Nice.

GWlolo, here's a chart I found. 10 ft. (120 in.) 40-60" 12 ft. (144 in.) 48-72" 15 ft. or more 60+" You will probably be sitting about 13 feet from the TV, once you have the sectional in the room. So you could have a 55" screen or a 60" screen. (I've never heard anyone complain their TV was too big. I have heard people complain that their TV is too small.) What I would do is get the sectional and then either get the TV or at least decide on the TV size. Then cut a piece of cardboard to the size of the screen. Tape the cardboard mock-up to the wall at various heights and sit on the sofa to see what your sight lines are and if you have to tilt your head. Experiment until you find the height that works best for your family. Roughly, the higher it is, the further back you need to be in order not to have to tilt your head too much. But the size of the TV also comes into play here, as well. I don't think there's one best height for TVs. It really depends on your viewing angle, and that's going to be affected by how far you are from the TV, what you are sitting on and your own height. My brother, the engineer, had various pieces of cardboard stuck all over the walls of the family room at one point. Different sizes, to see how large a screen they needed. Different heights, to test the viewing angle. (My SIL is a saint.) They now have a 55" TV on top of some built-in shelving that is about 37" tall. High enough so the kids couldn't reach it (or hit it while playing with the Wii) when they were little, and at a comfortable height for watching from 16' away.

My 2 cents: I like your picture up there- the colors go very well with your room, and the scene is a nice one and when I look at it, it gives me good vibes. I could definitely see switching it out to a wreath during the holidays, but then, if I liked the pic, I would return it to its place after the holidays. My take on clocks: I know there are some beauties out there (I am particularly fond of grandfather clocks), but to have a big clock staring at me just makes me feel like I have to hurry, and these days, feel like time is passing. It may be that I worked in a job for 20 years where I had to do way to much in too little time and was always rushed, and those feelings return when I see a big clock staring me in the face. The clocks in my house tend to be small and unobtrusive.

Being encoraged somewhat by "They(mirrors) reflect light and open up a space to add dimension.")).. , I want to add that finding the right mirror is not easy at all. You (a theoretical "you"..insert any pronoun) need it to be certain size, right? That's a big mirror. If you order it online and you dislike it-you're kinda stuck..since the cost to return it might be big, and some stores will ask for restocking fees too, even if their shipping to you was free. So seeing it would be helpful. Everything new and affordable-I personally am not a fan of (yes I do have some in my house, bathrooms for example-because I was already desperate, and nothing suitable on Craigslist for months, and everything I love is expensive). So leaves one more often than not with scouring Craigslist. Again you're very patient and you check each day-or almost each day-so it's easier than art, a mirror-but as somebody who was hunting mirrors also..one needs luck with "his" mirror too. I do have my favorites saved allover..favorite mirrors I mean..I'll check what I have saved. Probably useless to you; but who knows. We might have similar taste or something. I have only one mirror in my house I truly love..but it's quirky. And I could afford it since smaller. Otherwise that site would want 700$ or smth like that..they carry several nice mirrors.
