Julie- I tried the picture upstairs and it’s too big. Do you think I Should keep the picture for over the couch or return it? I do like the colors with a small streak of brown/orange to tie in my kitchen cabinets (that I wish I could paint - side note haha). I feel like there is something off. I’m not sure if it’s the picture or the pillows. Love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Happy Holidays everyone! Here’s a few pics from this year. I have been crazy busy as I’m sure everyone else is. I added a pencil tree to the family room where the ladder use to be. Really enjoying that since we spend alot of time in there. Julie I am still going to get that brass end table you found after the holidays! DH went a little crazy on the living room tree this year way too FAT we have plenty of room for all our special ornaments from throughout the years!

Now I'm second guessing my layout... Room is about 18x19 [18' is fireplace wall.] It's open kitchen to dining to great. Thought was if there was a gathering involving a game or something folks could see tv from anywhere... plus the windows are fairly low and the couch would sit a bit into the 'view' but I suppose not a big deal? Ugh. lol. The console I really dig and seem to match the mantle is this one @Beverly posted. Plus great price! It's 62" wide but only 29.5" tall. Could I add cool industrial casters or something? If I did re-arrange furniture I have a long black console that I would use [currently in basement]. Would I still do consoles on each side of fireplace or just chairs and art? How would I do art on the giant wall ? Currently planning on various art in a collage to fill that space. Opinions? Thanks.

@casey I'm not much help with the design of your room, but I'm very interested in hearing more about your Mantel Mount. My TV is too high above my fireplace and I have been researching the Mantel Mount. Are you still glad that you purchased this, does it work as you expected, and is there anything you would recommend when choosing which Mantel Mount model? I really appreciate your input. Thank you.
