Part 2..Where to put what NEW pics
Comments (12)mlraff53: No offense taken. Hubby and I are thinking about hanging the mirror the other way. It was hung that way because that was how it was strung on the back when we got it from the antique mall. I measured it yesterday and there is a difference of 6 inches....so rewiring the back and hanging it the other way might work. I did scoot the barrister over so it is now centered...at one time it was, but when I clean I swing it out to get the cat toys and "dust bunnies". I will keep an eye on it when I move it back into place. I did move the family photos and will think about where they would look the best, grouped to gether. I did get another similiar frame...the curved glass...so will try to work with the 3 similiar frames. Snookums....You are right....the CD tower will go. The furniture is covered because the cats are not declawed and I don't want them "Happy pawing " on the upholstery when we are brushing them or petting them. They do that and I just don't want them to ruin the fabric. Also both cats shed and it is much easier to cover and shake/wash the covers. The blue chairs...they really are recliners and it is impossible to find fitted covers for wingback chairs that are recliners. If someone knows where to find them...let me know. I have looked. I will move the cat stuff into a basket and get rids of the box. They only play with a few things out of there. Rucnmom: Thanks for the kind words about the Samovar. I had it restored 3 years ago when I inherited it. Most people don't know what it is !!! I think I will keep the mirror when it is, nut hang it the otherway. I like having the reflection of the rest of the room. Any suggestions on where else I could showcase it? Please keep the suggestions coming.....I do enjoy reading them...going to look at the changes and doing it and thinking. You all are great!...See MoreWhat to put where and what colors?
Comments (5)I think the floor plan you added is flipped, but it does clearly show you have a family room for a TV, and the circular wall for the dining room is not by the door—it’s near the kitchen. So you come in the door to almost a sitting-room/library type corner to the left with large windows on both walls. I’d keep that area simple, but comfortably elegant. Something that will go with your dining room style. I’d do a round table, I think...with great chairs for color and texture. The curved wall may be hard to dress....See MoreWhat color of wood floor do u put with espresso colored wood trim
