I really like your room, it's very comfortable looking! However, I don't care for the mirror above the sofa (but I like the mirror). It reflects the TV and such, and I think a picture would be much nicer. But hey - I have enough trouble decorating on my own, so do wait for others to reply!! LOL

Love the mirror...but I agree with the others that with the pegs it looks like it should have jackets, hats and scarves hanging on it.

Is it possible to saw the pegs off, sand the spots and repaint?

Since it's current location reflects the tv would it be possible to hang it over the mantle?

WEll here is what WAS above the couch yesterday and I just felt there wasn't enough "heft" to it. A picture I fear to busy with the pattern couch. I like colonial but clean lines colonial if such a thing exists! And yes the pegs do come off..That is an option I didn't think of. The mirror actually reflects a large bay window right across from it, I just did it on a funky angle to show WHERE the tv was...

Actually here is the window across from the couch/mirror...

The reflection will be determined by where you are standing... it looks to me (from the 2nd pic) that you actually see the mantle reflected as you are walking into the room. That right?

The pegs don't bother me... but I'm a rule breaker ;-)

Something's missing though, maybe you just need to move the quilt pattern and chinese checkers closer to the mirror.

You know that could be it...the gameboards need to be closer to the picture. i think I will try that. I unscrewed the pegs and felt that didn't sway me one way or another. So I put them back in. The gameboards though - that is a good though. I have more of these actually! They were handcrafted by a retired fellow and I got them for a steal (like 50 each instead of 200!!) so of course if one is a great deal then 5 is a fantastic deal!!! )I will try moving those closer. Good thought. thanks

I like the mirror (and the idea to move the game boards closer). The pegs don't bother me a bit. What about displaying some game pieces on the mirror's shelf (continue the theme) -- for example, oversized or collectible chess pieces?

You have a lovely room. It needs a small game/puzzle table in front of your window seat, and a cushion on your window seat to go with your games theme.

DEFINATELY a cushion. I have kept this area bare b/c my daughter uses it to set up her animal playsets but she is getting older now and doesn't do it very much anymore. What fabric suggestions for the windowseat please? My chair is solid gold/champagne to match the floral in the couch but I am stumped for a pattern on the windowseat. Would you suggest pattern or solid? I have big old wooden jacks I am off to unearth from a box somewhere that may be good on the shelf. Good thought!

Since you have a strong plaid and floral in your sofa, what about a stripe that picks up the colors from the chair and sofa? Or a reverse floral that picks up the gold/champagne as the main color with red and green accents?

Oh, I like the big wooden jacks idea. Very clever.

LOVE the mirror and the gameboards (moving them closer would work a bit better) -- looks fantastic!

Very Modern Country ..... clean lines with country appeal and charm .....

WEll believe it or not the gameboards have been moved a foot closer each. Enough? I also added a horizonal cribbage I think it is gameboard on the mirror shelf - colors are PERFECT! Black, matching red and matching gold in the shelf and a big jack. Good enough or gameboards CLOSER yet? Love love the idea of a cushion for this window. That should just pull it alllll in! I could put this horizonal gameboard on the wall below one of the other gameboards to heft the wall up a bit but maybe that will unbalance the other side?

I like this much better. Try another jack where the basket is now.

LOVE, LOVE the gameboards.

I like the cribbage board and jax. I would move the two game boards a bit closer in, still, so that the entire arrangement is over the sofa.

You do fast work.

Ok I did another 1.5 inches closer. I have SO many nailholes to patch but it is worth it! I balanced them over the arm of the couch. I also added the xtra jack and the last pic is two remaining gameboards. They were on my mantle and I tried to fool with them on this arrangement but couldn't make it work.....Good to go or MORE nail holes? :)

Can you take a picture of the sofa arrangement a little further away? It's a bit hard to see the arrangement from that angle.

I like those two other game boards. Is there room for them on the wall behind your gold/champagne colored chair (the wall with the clock?)? I would like to see the colors/game boards carried around the room instead of just on the one wall.

I have to be on top of the sofa to take the picture b/c I have no evening sun left.. I will take a picture tomorrow in the AM for the full effect. you have been SO helpful!! I was THINKING of taking down those boy/girl pics by the gold chair and using the long white bowl shelf that was ORIGINALLY above the sofa where the boy/girl prints are currently and I have a few small gameboards stashed away I could incorporate on this shelf. I just have to have my hubby help me there to see if I would knock myself out on the shelf getting out of the chair! He is playing hockey now but I will rope him into that tomorrow. Thanks a million for the help and hope you check back in for the final result tomorrow! :)

Very nice!!!

Try the two smaller primitive portraits on each wall over the TV.

Then try the other game boards around the yellow/gold chair.

Maybe you could mount the cribbage board above or below the smaller piece on the right, so that its size balances with the piece on the left.

I like the idea of putting the cribbage board on the side with the chinese checker board so the 2 sort of balance the bigger one on the left. The jacks look great. Find a place for the other 2 boards even if you have to move the boy/girl pics. A small game board on the coffee table would be cute too. It's looking great!

I don't care for the accesories on the shelf of the new mirror. Maybe one small pot of greenery, a basket or something else decorative. The game pieces detract from the beauty of the mirror.

I am not too swift with this camera. I seem to either capture all sun or no sun. At any rate, I ended up moving the cribbage board underneath the chinese checkers board and found an "old toys" wooden box and put misc. in there. I think it really beefs up behind the couch compared to what was in there. Try as I did I couldn't use the long white shelf near the gold chair. just way too heavy on that wall. That will relocate to my dining room. tHANKS For all the help!

I like the cribbage board under the other piece, but think that you need to move them both up the wall a bit so that the cribbage board is not lower than the mirror. And I like the items on the mirror shelf.
