i like as large as possible and not hung too high, kind of the size where you still have room on either side to put vases or whatever. I know there must be a rule of thumb but no clue what it is. Just a balance of size in proportion to the mantel length. as far as type. Sometimes a grouping of photos that might be black and white is cool too. I cant quite remember your PP, but I do remember the clock for some reason and agree it was lost there, no offense, but boy am I envious you have a fireplace in your BR.

Twotogo, your link says it needs to have a picture selected, or something like that. Can you redo the link?

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.

Pharaoh ya wimp :oP Here in Alaska in real earth quake country (verses those silly little shake up ya'll whine about) we hang glass and metal above our head and DARE it to come down on us! (and right in front of that dangly light fixture we have the main support beam that holds up the ceiling LOL and the light is hung extra well to ensure it does not jiggle down during a quake heh heh) This is how the bed looks up against it:' I don't really have a behind the bed wall but do have small art items on the wall that the bed side tables butt up to. But really normally...there is a child on that counter or a dog or a cat...they all love it: My bed backs up to a cabinet we use for storage so really all I have is a pretty counter top and a view behind the bed in the lake house. In the other place, I think a picture would be too much...I do think the bed sort of dictates what belongs belongs behind it somewhat: My son has a monkey :oP It would take on a whole different meaning in the master bedroom heh heh
