Almost there...I think.

13 years ago

I posted earlier about this gallery wall for which I got great feedback. The things that stay are the sewing machine and the pictures of my kids. But I rearranged a little and got new accessories for the sewing machine. The mirror in the upper right corner needs to be swapped out...I am thinking of another mirror, picture or interesting piece. I need advice on that as well if this new layout is better or still needs work? (The first picture is before).

I preferred it without the mirror since it just reflects the opposite wall. Otherwise, it is an improvement.
That interesting bowl doesn't seem to suit the general feel of the area - too contemporary. I'd remove the placemat too. Sewing machines don't usually have them. If the top is damaged and you want to keep this as a focal point, it might be worth having refinished, especially if it is a family heirloom.

Hey first of all. Great job on the new layout!!!!! I actually like it as is... but maybe without the bowl. Something about the bowl does not sit quite right. I like however letting the pattern on the sowing machine table be the focus and not cover it. Group your accessories in the corner on the left and leave it at that? :)

deco or cc -- any suggestions as to what to put in right corner instead of small mirror? Another picture or some sort of wall art? And would you suggest I hang it slightly higher, lower or even than the top picture on the left? Thank you so much!

Not sure - maybe a small wall sculpture??? How about a plate like the one you had on the sewing machine before?
