Thanks for all your help with this dilemma, everyone. I finally was able to move the mirrors closer together and shift the artwork to another wall. I wish I were good about talking lovely staged professional looking photos, but this is what you get in my house -- unfurled fabrics for the pillows I still haven't sewn, blankets flung on the sectional, and bolts of fabric shoved under the chaise. Oh well. At least the cat looks like he belongs? I am liking it much better now. I think the art will stay there until I hang the drapes, which may be a while given all my other projects and ideas. The pillows need to be sewn, and we need to build the huge table that will go behind the sectional. So much work so little time... Everyone, including joaniepoanie, olychick, yayagal, kswl: Thanks for taking the time to offer great advice. Grandmaof3: I do have lots of walnut pieces in my house, though I have thought of painting the bookcases a time or two. Maybe one day I will do it. sheilaaus122: Thanks for the compliments. We are liking things so far, but we are taking it slooooow. Thanks again! rgustafs

Plants are always good - real ones. But will it get enough light??? I always like can uplights that you put on the floor in back of them - makes beautiful shadows on the walls & makes a nice atmosphere. You can also do a pedestal with a great sculpture. Arc lamps are good for retro looks. ~Jeana

just a few ideas that I'd suggest. a plant in the corner where that little bench is. I posted two diff types, either would work. I gave you a side table w/a lamp on the other end. I like the idea of a pouf in this camel color to warm things up a bit, or do a stool or two placed in front of fireplace. I also like these shelves between the two windows. ( I don't know what furry dog is going to do with these,,,maybe have the toddler stand on his back?? lol. hang them well out of reach and they'll be fine. I'd put a few small plants on them. This will eat up that middle space) You could also take these teak decking tiles and attach a plant/pot onto it, and hang two of these between the transom windows. if you want a bench, do something like this in the wood. all of those neutral gray tones make everything seem very cool. add some wood and some texture to warm it up a bit. over the back of sofa do a cool piece of art don't hang them too high. (your tv is hung too high btw. ) and a rug for the sofa area A jute one would work too for the dining area, you could also do this jute rug like shown. for the wall, I'd do another piece of sizable art to hang on that one wall. This one has a larger wall, but look at the black and white picture. basically the same size of yours. you want something this big. Or, do a shallow buffet or console w/a mirror over it and some greenery, like shown here.
