@jch art - thanks! Great art - love them all!! What do you think about something with just like those in a pair? Thx for your input!!

@mark thanks! Love the chairs!!

@bargainhunter: Vertical mirrors will emphasize a nice high ceiling, or help a low ceiling look higher. I don't recall ever hanging a mirror horizontally! To me they just look better vertically.

Michelle, I would encourage you to use a large, colorful piece or pieces of abstract art.

@carolyn okay thanks!!

@beverly and Carolyn or others would you have a tall vertical mirror over this sink and cover the lights (I have recessed lights in ceiling) or just keep smaller mirror and change light fixture? I have to paint the bathroom too.

@carolyn and Beverly or others lol In this powder bath would you hang a tall vertical mirror covering up the existing light fixture (I have recessed lighting in ceiling) or keep small mirror and change light fixture? I have to paint the bathroom too.

A tall slim framed mirror would look good. Where you have the candle sconce over the toilet you might use a beautiful electric sconce with 2 lights. Another possibility would be to have a sconce on both the left wall and the right wall. I can't tell from the photos if there is space to do this. I would remove the light fixture that is above the mirror since you say you have recessed lighting in the ceiling.

Here's a possible mirror. You'd need to add some drama to the room with wallpaper or paint so that the rest of the room lives up the the splendor of the mirror.

Another possibility:

Here's a possibility for above the toilet.

I think your designer did you a disservice by having you place two large mirrors so close in proximity, such as in the living room & the dining room which adjoin each other. If keeping the mirror in the dining room I would place it vertically at the end of the table so half of the guests are not watching themselves eating.

You do have a lovely dining area and the chandy is spectacular, however it must be centered both ways over the table, so I suggest adjusting the table as it is much easier to do. Please think about adding some large art on the longer wall.

Only you can select your art. It needs to move you emotionally. It would be better if it had some color in it as well. Check Art.com or Great Big Canvas. they often have 40-50% off sales & at GBC you can select your preferred size. Check them out if only for inspiration. Go big & go color.

@carolyn thanks I am going to take your advise and move light (in sconce form) over toilet and go with tall vertical mirror :) at least I'll get this one right :)

I have seen a colorful large graphic print that is of a chandelier. I'm looking for it for you. It would be a conversation piece for sure.

@suzyq I love!!!! Thanks!

Thanks @sandradclark we don't use the table so at least no one sits there lol I am going to do the large art for sure! I am thinking of replacing the table with a smaller round table in the future - more of a conversation area with two side chairs similar to photo :)

This is House of Mirrors and Chandeliers. All beautiful, but you need some color so bad. RH is awesome but you have to add punch or you get sepia. Don't be afraid! Do you like red or coral or blue accents?

Yes vanguard and Suzyq I plan on using blue since we are in FL and on the water :)

I do have colorful framed photos throughout the house just not in the areas I've shown lol I am trying to finalize these areas ;)

Couldn't resist showing you this room. There's even more in the other room.

You could do something like this.

Blue accents.

Thanks Suzyq - love love wow!

A good sized original painting would look great in this room - the space is ideal. Please visit my houzz page and web site: www.emiliadubicki.com to see some paintings that might work for you. thanks! -Emilia

Like/dislike??

dislike, as it blends into your lovely chandelier. You refuse to try the mirror on that wall with large art on the mirror wall.

No Sandra I'm not refusing to move it lol I am exploring all options before making any final decisions

Also art on the opposite wall will blend or distract from the chandelier too lol

Not if it is bright bold colors or black & white.

the light is not centered to the table

the table is not centered to the all....

fix these things first.

Michelle I like the art you posted. Nothing wrong with a monochromatic room. It's not an easy look to pull off but you have a great start and I get what you are trying to do. It will come together with all the right accessories, layering and textures etc.

@mark thanks so much for your kind remarks!! In glad you understand my taste lol I'm still going to use your lamp idea :)

@flairlighting the table is centered with the chandelier it's hard to see the in photo lol and it's centered to the wall if you are facing the mirror it's not centered to the sidewalk because then the chandelier would be right over the back chairs so one would hit their head when standing up :( that's why it's difficult to design around this weird situation :(

Not centered to sidewall lol auto spell correct is a pain hahaha

@flairlighting This shows how close it is to the back wall already :(

Michelle, I suppose I like statue better since it looks less like a chandlier, which the column does resemble/ in its design/details...

@everdebz thank you! I like the statue too :)

beautiful home

I just decided to gaze a second at your chandelier; I guess your look is so understated that you need to look at each piece; I saw the contrast of the darker chain etc... and it's not a look that jumps out at you. Probably feels enveloping while you yourself are there [instead of from photograph/computer].... I am glad you like it 'on its way'! :)

I like both prints Michelle and they would be clearly visible to anyone sitting at the table. I know you said no one sits there. You're like me I just admire the living room and dining room as I walk pass on the way to the great room. Oh and I pay to furnish and clean it too. Our new house doesn't have a formal living room or dining room; we remodeled it with informal only. Sick of 800 sq. ft. we never use. I've never sat down in current living room in 12 years.

Thanks @Judi and yes @everdebz it's hard to capture things in a photograph and it's definitely more stunning when the crystals shimmer on the wall - see below :) also we live in a house that's all glass with no window treatments (that close) surrounded by water so we get a lot of beauty and color from nature. I appreciate every person who took the time to give me suggestions - it's greatly appreciated! Sometimes it's just so hard to show what I see in a few photos lol @suzyq yes I agree I hate rooms for looks only! I won't have these types of rooms in my next house lol just a giant family room :)

Wow you took a nice photo! why we like light-catchers of all kinds!

Agree to VANGUARD development proposition

Michelle, the art looks wonderful!

Adding a hit of colour through abstract art would look amazing on that wall. Feel free to check out my site for ideas www.sarahphelps.ca

Thanks! Amazing art @Sarah! I love it but it's out of my budget :(

@carolyn do you think # 1 is a better choice than #2?

I LOVE Beverley's ideas. Def move the mirror to the other wall and get a few pictures

Your dining room has the potential to be elegant and dramatic. I haven't read the other comments but I would suggest re-orienting your table in the other direction and adding artwork to both walls.

Love love love the dining furnitures. The soft angel art that have been suggested would look great in this space. place table under candaliar.

Thanks @Linda - beautiful!
