I like it. Very colorful and fill the space well.

I like the plates but nay on location.

ETA: beautiful room Sue!

That is a pretty room.

I like them. I like them in a line. I'm just not sure that's the best place for them.

Pretty room and I love the smaller window!

Is the larger window getting curtains?

I like the plates but agree with those who say the location might not be the right one.

Thanks, everyone.

All windows are being replaced later this summer, and after that, we’ll do window treatments but nothing fancy. Probably fabric roman shades or woven wood blinds in here.

Usually if I ask a question like this here, it’s because I know in my gut that the answer is no! Need to stumble upon the right thing for this spot, I guess.

Wider shot so you can see other larger art in room. Feel like I need something to balance that bigger piece somehow.

I kinda like the little plates there, mostly because they are so small and unexpected. They draw you in closer. I greatly admire your eclectic style, and I think you can easily pull off doing things a little out of the ordinary.

I like them and I like them there. Its unexpected, colorful and funky.

Would something like this work better? I wonder. This is a little too big but I like the basic idea. It’s about 2’ x 4’. Something a bit smaller but colorful and kind of abstract...

Meanwhile, I might hang up the plates using tiny nails (easy to un-do if needed) and see how I feel after looking at them for a while. Looks like the opinions are about tied right now! I do appreciate the feedback.

The plates are lovely, but too small for the space.

I like the color of the little plates in the room, but they're too small for the location...can you put them horizontally above one of the windows? Or maybe under the diamond-light window?

I was thinking exactly what Annie Deighnaugh said.

I don't think you need anything on that wall. Can you scooch the sofa over more so that it is more in the middle of the room?

I do understand that you lined it with the left window, but since the windows are asymmetrical I thought maybe the sofa could balance things.

Maybe you could mount the plates on something more substantial to fill the space better? I do like the look of them there - they just seem a bit small in contrast to everything else.

I think a different (narrower?) location would be better. Right there they look a little like buttons and call a lot of attention to themselves.

Maybe something oval and convex or antiqued silvered mirror? Maybe with a more minimalist frame?

Eld, I actually didn’t intend to line up the sofa with the window — it’s in that spot so it can share the corner table with the other sofa.

Your room is so beautiful and such a refreshing change from what we usually see on here. Thank you for sharing!

Grapefruit thank you so much!

Oly, I think it’s too big but will check. After the plumber leaves...he’s here giving us bad news about a bathroom leak. Oh, an old house seemed like a fun idea...

I love your room! I think those plates are lovely and agree with Annie - you might consider placing them under the window with the diamond glass. I think your other art is perfectly placed and would not move it.

You are replacing that diamond-y window!? My heart cries.........

I love the plates but I think they would have more impact if grouped differently so your eye could take in all of them or at least a couple at a time.

Poopie (good name) don’t worry, that one stays!

Sueb20, World Market has a few nifty wall shelf storage thingies where you could group those cool plates into one work of art. Or, maybe it will inspire for another idea.

This might be viewed as tacky but what about hanging them on some fabric as if to create a wall hanging. It would add some colour to the area and more presence to the plates. I like the idea of hanging them there but how to do it is the problem. I don't know how you would attach them to the fabric

First, you stated "PS for anyone getting ready to critique other aspects..." As if anyone here would do such a thing.

Second, I LOVE your room. Not everyone (me as an example) can bring together different pieces and get a room as put together as yours. Simply lovely.

I like them, but I would not line them up in a row - maybe make a zigzag orientation and place them closer together, or put them in a circle formation. Place them on a table and play with how you might want to organize them.

I LOVE that abstract piece of art you posted as an alternative. I also think your plates might look "more at home" if they were closer to your kitchen/dining/elation area?

(I happen to love BIG art and not so much the smaller pieces).

Thank you all for the nice compliments. We love this house even though we now have a bathroom “project” we didn’t anticipate after living here for less than 2 weeks.

Here’s where I put the plates. Yeah, now they look almost squeezed in but I like them here. Like a little surprise as you walk from dining room to kitchen.

Perfect.

Congratulations on your new home!

The new spot is perfect.

Where the original placing was a tad too large the new one may be a tad too small but no need to overthink it.

Thank you sincerely for not having a gray couch, a gray carpet and gray walls. Your space is lovely and inviting. The green wall color with white wainscoting in what I presume is the dining room is so inviting, as is the glimpse into your kitchen. The living room couch, pillows and carpet go together beautifully. I can't see the painting over the couch very well but wonder if it might not be slightly too large. The curtains you'll be hanging will add the finishing touch to a beautiful space.

Yup, the painting over the sofa is a bit tight but it’s the only good spot for it. With these old houses, I have to embrace the quirkiness...

PS no gray in this house except in DD’s room — she “designed” her room in all pale grays and pink.

Now that we are somewhat settled, I’m working on taking some pics of the house...stay tuned!
