Help With Hanging Entry Mirror and Entry Table Arrangement
Comments (10)I think you need to decide if the mirror is for primping, or just for a design statement. If you look at many foyer pix, including a couple here, the mirror is practically covered up by a larger floral arrangement directly in front of it. It is not about checking your lipstick. The reason I mention it is because I think the mirror needs to hang on the lower 2/3 of the wall space between the light and the tabletop - and likely that will make it a bit low for some people to use for grooming purposes. I think the box is nice, and can certainly sit in front of the mirror a bit. I think the floral piece is way too casual and rustic for the other pieces in the group, and also disappears as the color of the vase is almost identical (at least in the pix) to the color of the table. I would rather see you find an interesting pair of antique brass or black iron urns to place on either side of the mirror, and fill with taller greenery and branches to add volume on either side of the mirror. The paired urns would also add a more formal feel there. Consider adding a decorative mirror hanger and cording to give the mirror more vertical presence....See MorePlease help me find an entryway table.
Comments (7)You definitely have some space limitations, but I can understand wanting an entry table in the space. The Lincoln Glass Top Console Table from Pier 1 is what we chose for our narrow hallway, but it's 36" which may be a bit much for that 38" wall. It is only 10" deep, though, which makes it pretty much the least imposing table that I could find when I was searching. The fact that it's glass topped does seem to help keep the look of this console a bit more "open" than if it were all wood. It's a nice sturdy little table and we've been very pleased with it in our home....See MoreHelp brainstorm a "table top"/shelf over my radiator
Comments (3)It's hard to see in my pic, but there is a center "hump" on the top that (I think) is slightly higher than the other "humps", which is what gives me pause. I suppose I could do a trial run with a wood shelf and see if it would sit flat....See MoreHelp me brainstorm re smallish living room chair
Comments (8)I think your choices are great, including the idea of using a wicker chair. Of the two tables, I like the slight industrial goofiness of the second one. The other is "nice", that one has personality. I think you might take other pieces of inspiration from that fabulous room. A kilim rug? Of coure a big kilim is no going to come cheap. Jute would also look good, if you prefer plain. But not if you have a cat. Think of giving books a strong presence in your room too, they speak of the people who live there. And consider looking for a piece of sculpture -- again, possibly expensive, but not necessarily....See Morebusybee3
