Show the space and how tall is the dresser.

Still a work in progress excuse mess

??? What stupid rule would that be?

I say go for it - looks great!

It’s perfect.

The only mirrors that are truly useful in a bedroom are full length ones, which I usually put on the inside of a closet door. I actually dislike mirrors all over the place in a house. I need one by the coat closet, obviously in the bathrooms and for dressing, but I’d rather look at something other than myself in my own house and guest bedrooms.

Maybe if you are looking for a decorative pillow later on…

Love it!

By the way, that lamp is fabulous and almost serves as a foreground to the beautiful nature scene behind it in the painting.

Love that painting and love it over the dresser.

There are no rules, you just normally see mirrors as they are useful and work well to reflect light. I think it looks nice, size and style wise as well.

You may not be interested in providing a picture of the whole room and are fine with furniture placement. I‘m just wondering, as the bed and dresser feel squeezed in, but perhaps no other layout is possible or you haven't figured it out yet.

Yes I think the better question here is can we adjust the layout, I feel like the wallpaper wall should be more on display.

I feel like the dresser should be under the window, the bed centered on the wallpaper wall.

Thank you for your suggestions. Yes perhaps I will wait to hang the oil painting until I remove some furniture so I can play around with rearranging it. Unfortunately the tall chest won’t fit under the windows as it is too high. By the way the wall is not wallpapered. It is a painted. It took me three days to do LOL!

The painting would look lovely over the dresser. Hang it about 5” above the dresser.

The wall you painted looks terrific! I’m impressed by your skill and patience- did you use a stencil?

Thanks for the advice on how high to hang the painting. Yes I did paint the wall with a stencil. I also did the room below with a stencil that has a little bit of a Swedish design feel I think. Time consuming but worth it!

The painting is going to look wonderful over you pretty dresser, especially with that great bird lamp as an accent. You did an amazing job on that wall. It's so perfect ! Your room is going to look beautiful when it's done.

I also thought about hanging it above the bed in this room but the paintings colors are predominantly green. Maybe a painting with a lake (blues) would look better here.

Another beautiful painting job. Absolutely lovely!

I was wondering what the rule is?

I love the painting and think it perfect over the COD!!!

The walls and and the painting are fabulous. You did such a good job. I like the painting over the chest. Hang it at eye level - the only rule I know.

Yes, what rule would be broken by hanging an oil painting over a dresser. Genuinely curious, since I've never heard of a rule about this.

I meant regarding the large size of the painting not having a oil painting over the dresser. It is as wide as the dresser and typically designers recommend something smaller. I found out it was done by a Dutch artist in the 30’s. Love the painting was just worried it was too big for the space.

It is generally recommended that it be two thirds to three quarters the size of the piece below.

Your room looks reallly nice.

Ahhh, yes...that rule. I have heard that one before. But considering that people now hang extra large TVs over all sizes of things underneath, it seems a beautiful oil painting ought to be acceptable 😉.
