Thanks everyone ... I appreciate all the help and compliments I received on this! The rug isn't new, but it was my 3rd try until I got it "right" You know I didn't even think to move the picture up a little, to cover the box, but I will definitely do that. Unfortunately my whole house needs to be rewired, so I will have many more of these type holes to patching paint!

Thank you everyone for your advice. @BeverlyFLADeziner What makes this living room a playroom? I don't like the accordion blinds. If I had to choose between accordion blinds or no curtains, I would go with not having curtains. @d_gw It's a radiator on the left side. @kulrn we tried to arrange the living room furniture in different angles; however, given the room size and the open kitchen, this is the best way to arrange the furnitures. @

@Ann Marie Thanks for the suggestion! I will look there. I'm a little partial to painted art rather than photography, but I'll see what they have. @lindac92 That sounds like good advice! How would the need for a lamp change what art would go in that space? I have no idea how to think about that at all. But you're right, probably I would want a table lamp there. I know from browsing around that sometimes art just goes behind a lamp, which honestly feels weird to me, but maybe it's fine. But I'm not sure how that changes what I would want to put on the wall there. @threers Thanks for the advice! I can assure you that I will most definitely only get art I love. If I'm going to look at it every day, it had better make me happy! But I would also like it to match the rest of the room if I can possibly arrange it. :) @Patricia Colwell I actually was originally thinking of having two couches (which I think may have the result of another comment of yours in another thread), but the problem is that I can't seem to make it work with our TV placement. I definitely want a couch to face the TV, and then the only real arrangement that works is to have an L-shaped arrangement. And if I'm going to have that, well, I have always liked couches with corners, so that's how I arrived at a sectional. But I'm open to other alternatives - I just don't know of any good ones. :)

Thank you everyone!! houzz can be a blessing a curse ar the same time 😂 inwas set with a mirror orignally, and then quite a few people suggested holding off and looking for unique art, so iI did. And now revisiting the options, everyone is voting mirror LOL. thank you acm… that is a really nice idea and would love something like that, bit it is such a narrow entry, even a shallow shelf will not work well. thanks Jilly! isnt the art sonpretty? i just love the elegance of them both, but something about the white is just stunning to me. okay then… mirror it is!! I will absolutley use ine or both of peacock prints somewhere else, as I love the meaning and symbolism behind having them in your home . i may put them on one of my living room walls. thats another work in in progress at the moment . 🤦🏼‍♀️
