Thank you tnfarmhousefixin! I agree the gallery wall looks off. If I do keep the family photos, it needs to be completely redone. And yes to bringing the pics closer together! We do not enter/exit through the front door. Like ever. We come in and out though out garage Front door if pretty much only for visitors/guests. Are you suggesting a table on one of the walls that flanks the dining room? I just don't think that will work bc it's a main walkway. However, I am interested in replacing the entry way table I already have. That one is just a little small. (It's "original Thomasville, lol, from my parents! Easily 40 years old:)

OK that makes sense. Then I agree with groveaxles placement but would make it as narrow as possible. Or depending on your room arrangement could a swivel chair be utilized as part of your seating area, that could swing around to face the closet...so serve the function of both Conversation seating and place to put on shoes? have to say I really like the closets you added.

Working with the two items you have, the mirror and table, I think the height is fine. What is making it look awkward is the fact that you have nothing on the table that can fill the gap between the tabletop and mirror. Try an orchid in a nice planter or basket, it will help to blend the two together, then add a couple of your favorite small tchotckes (don't over do it though, you could even lay two favorite hardback books with bindings facing out), it will be a beautiful greeting to all who see it! You're on the right track!f Life is better because of the beauty we find in it!

Looks good as is. Wouldn't clutter it up ... but you might consider small Tiffany style stained glass sun catchers (that attach to the small windows with suction cups) if you find some you particularly like. https://www.google.com/search?q=Tiffany+style+suncatchers&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiKg5u24eXoAhWnTN8KHSnCDkAQ_AUoAnoECAwQBA&biw=1366&bih=654 Suspect the space may be so narrow that framed art on the wall gets bumped. Measure carefully before deciding. Depending upon the pattern, wallpaper could end up just making a calm space just look "busy" without adding interest to the space. If you like nature scene murals, you might consider visually "enlarging" your space with one of those on the plain wall just before you go down the steps. https://www.google.com/search?q=murals+of+nature+paths&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwij672S4uXoAhUpnOAKHRnJBQQQ_AUoAXoECAsQAw&biw=1366&bih=654
