Sometimes I should trust my gut more. I had a few mirrors picked out and DH chose the one I bought, which I can send back or use elsewhere in my home. I did try out a round mirror with the table in the space and it looked great so I think I am committed to round. Les917 - thanks for your opinion and time on LampsPlus (I have probably spent 4x that amount this weekend on lamps and mirrors!) Feel like searching a mirror site for a better mirror match? Loribee-if I hang and keep the mirror I think that is a good (and cheap!) lamp to consider as it will not compete. Maybe I should go with a simple mirror so I can snazz up the lamp? Thanks all!

Hi Les and thanks for your thoughts. Funny, you mentioned a chaise lounge instead of a chair and ottoman. I am checking CL for both! I either want an chair/ottoman that work very well together-- or a chaise. About the round mirror, I see what you mean. I like the idea of three coordinated rectangular pics over the bed and will keep my eye out for them. In the short term, however,nothing seems to beat the round mirror, so we will probably put it back onto the wall. (When I was painting, I took the mirror down and Spackled the hole, intending to find something better.) "I would move the plants to the corner not shown in these pix, formed with the same large window wall and the wall to the right of the bed." I am not following. . . Finally " Not crazy about the chair next to the bed. It looks crowded. Do you need it there for a reason?" I like having a chair there to talk on the phone. More narrowly, though, I need some place to "hide" some of my DR chairs. Our DR is small and can't take all of them. "I would still think about using the desk/table as one of the nightstands, on the left side of the bed" I like this idea, but it has a few draw backs. The desk is about 6 inches taller than the bedside table, so won't it make the room look cockeyed? Also, DH pointed out that his bedside table stuff is messy and he likes having the shelves in his current bedside table to hide stuff. I did try the desk on MY side of the room (see below), but no one seemed to like it. I would be open to using the round covered table next to the chaise and getting a smaller one for my side of the bed. The round table is actually nice w/o a cover (see further below), so it could look nice by the chaise. desk by my side of the bed with red chair. bedside table (mine without a cover on it)

I think that for most mirrors to be pleasing to the eye, they need to be about 2/3 of the width of the sideboard or buffet. And you want to hang it so that it is about 10" or so above the furniture, with the top of the mirror above most people's eye level, so just about any adult can check their hair or makeup. If you find a great mirror but it really isn't quite big enough, sometimes you can eke out the space with your lamps and other things, kind of making a mirror collage that gives the mirror the appearance of being the right size for the furniture. That takes a bit of experimenting with objects and can be a little hard to do if you don't have a good eye for it. I think you need a mirror close to 46" wide to work well with your 71" buffet. Try putting painter's tape on the wall above your buffet at about 46" wide and outline the shape of the mirror with the tape so you can get a feel for how big it needs to be. Les's mirror shot is great, you might take a look through some local antique stores to see if they have something similar..........AFTER you get your size down pat. Red

These lamps are small in scale. You may look for taller lamps. Don’t match lamp base with sofa. I see blue in your rug so you may have blue base or simple metal/ glass base will also look nice. Avoid too much grey in the room.
