    Ok, you have a few different things going on. The table is a little rustic.. you have that lovely RH looking linen (?) chair off to the left of the piano which fits with the the table and chairs... then you have some very traditional pieces. Nothing wrong with mixing, but I think the mirror is too ornate and then being gold on top of it if you want to keep the other gold piece there. Nothing wrong with a gold mirror, but feel it's heavy with the more RH or PB table look in the room. A more spare gold frame IMO or another mirror. Nice now to know the ceiling is vaulted :)

    I do agree you need a vertical mirror if you want a mirror there or a large round.

    It's late... I'll check back to see what you have to say.

    Kary1326 have you tried the mirror Vertical?

    Here is a vertical mirror in the room. For a room with a vaulted ceiling, a mirror mounted vertically is more appropriate and draws the eye up in the room.

    Lowered the dining fixture about 12"

    Pottery barn has one 44x55, do you think is to big?

  • 9 years ago

    They also has a round 44

    Porter Edun i just saw your link of frontgate , i like it, thank you so much

    Great, Vertically it would look great. I believe it may be a bit narrow hanging vertically over your sideboard/buffet. It's 36" wide and 48" high. That would leave about 18" on either side of the top of your sideboard.

    I like the piece as it has silvers and a little bit of gold, but not an overboard amount of gold as you have the pieces with a lot of gold for the sideboard/buffet. Thinking toning the mirror down is all to a pretty mirror, but not heavy looking.

    I also like the vintage glass uttermost with the more spare frame... the vintage glass gives is an old world feel.. would tie in well with your gold pieces on the table.

    Just tossing this out. I think it is a tad too heavy in the frame( ???? ) however has the antiqued glass. I do love a QUATREFOIL MIRROR.

    42" and up in size in diameter. Would look great with the table and chairs, but I don't think with the decor you have on the buffet :( IMO that is.. maybe Bev can chime in on this one.


    Unique and pretty mirror in a burnished gold. Just wanted to give you another

    option to see.

    36x48 or 42x78 (78 is too tall I believe due to your sloped ceiling)

    It also comes in a 48" diameter round.


    Just thought I would toss them out. I do love the rosette mirror for the room, yet you may see another and say, "oh, perfect". Hence, some other options.

    Finally found the antiqued glass mirror by Ethan Allen (20% off at this time)

    A tad wider than the Front Gate mirror 38" wide and 50" tall.

    I love the RH with hanging and the round brown

  • 9 years ago

    At first i wanted put the gold a little bit down, but the picture from BerverlyFLadeziner looks amazing, very elegant , Rh has a rombo too salvage wood , but its natural volor

    this one is 48x48

    The contrast between the rustic mirror and the chandeliers can give and antique/farm look to the area, or its to rustic for the living room décor?

    I think I like the quatrefoil or round shape. This way the corner doesn't conflict visually with the vaulted ceiling crown molding.

  • 9 years ago

    Yes, that's true. Thank you

  • 9 years ago

    I was looking that one, but its really shine. What do you think about it?

    I would look for a venetian glass mirror that had some antiquing. If that is too traditional then take a look here. Happy Hunting ;-)

    With all the gold in the room, don't you think a bit of gold on the frame works for the area?

  • 9 years ago

    Yes

  • 9 years ago

    Which one do you like most brown or gold?

  • 9 years ago

    I think the beaded framed, "box" mirror with gold metal beading won't play well with your table decor.

    I do like the oval you posted if it's wide enough for the sideboard/console.


    not that I don't like the above mirror. Works well with your dining table and chairs, not with your table decor. You might want a very thin frame or something with some gold in it...

  • 9 years ago

    got it


  • 9 years ago

    I never bought something from front gate, that one is my favorite mirror, do you know about the quality of their products?

  • 9 years ago

    I love this because does not have the frame inside vs.


    Pottery Barn

  • 9 years ago

    I think is more elegant without the frame inside

  • 9 years ago

    as Bev and I mentioned the quatrefoil mirror would look nice. RH does have a sale on the quatrefoil in a metal tone as I posted... however, hard to tell exactly the metal tone by looking at their website and CS is of NO HELP with them!

    This is the RH min size is 42" in diameter...so it would be quite large above the sideboard/buffet, but that doesn't bother me... may bother others. It is an antique glass... yet, it is on the larger side to be sure and won't tie in as well with you table decor by any means. I believe it would leave 6" one either side, but being round may make it better on the eye than square????

    I'm not able to see it clearly, is the oval you posted has a thin gold frame?!?

    Problem being is we are trying to work with tying in the decor you want on the table top so it's a balancing act with some of the mirror if they are too rustic, etc.

    If you want to relocate (though I'm sure you don't) the decor on the table top many things would work IMO. Yet, given the still need to be cognizant of the ceiling medallion and the chandelier.

    It is my opinion the Ethan Allen mirror style works best:

    antiqued glass, silver panes and some gold accent on the mirror. Not a heavy appearing frame and plays well with both the table/chairs and the decor you want on the sideboard and the chandelier.



  • 9 years ago

    The RH oval is thin frame. I was looking the Ethan Allen, but the frame is kind of silver. Do you think it will work, because the chandeliers are gold

  • 9 years ago

    In the pictures they have all the accessories in the tables are silver

  • 9 years ago

    When I, "zoomed" in on the Ethan Allen it appeared to have a muted gold frame in the surround. I would call to question that fact and hopefully they are helpful and knowledgeable. I could in fact be silver you are correct.

    The Front Gate has gold which on my computer shows well, but would also check that as well by calling them if you choose this direction. I only offered up the Ethan Allen as it's a tad wider as I feel it should hang vertically. I think it would work well.

    I do like the silver tone that separates the panes on the Front Gate and believe it's muted due to the antique look. The rosettes are muted gold it appears as is the frame which works very well. It's a more subtle mirror than what you have and works well with the more semi rustic farm table and the rest.. nothing wrong with mixing this. I don't like the wood frame you posted as it's taking things in to a completely different direction. Nothing wrong with mixing and it may look great. However, if you have a Home Goods store in your area you can find a large wood framed mirror similar to get a visual. They have an abundance of mirrors if you want to satisfy the craving of the juxtaposition and I say do it!

    I would just double check your dimensions of the sloped ceiling on any on line order and even take a piece of painters tape and place it centered on your table to see how you like the width if you go with Front Gate or other if it's rectangular. It should not be spare, but not too large.

    Once you have the painters tape down you can place your table decor and see what you think of the scale. You won't want to hang this too high so about say, 6" or so above the table if you want to use a metal measure and see how high it goes and if it pleases you.

  • 9 years ago

    Perfect, thank you


  • 9 years ago

    I do like your piece, but don't like it for the dining area...

    I just remembered, (sorry, I've been out running around all day working and I'm beat so excuse typos or....)

    Front Gate shows gold items with their mirror.... I meant show you the photo again before I pass out :)

  • 9 years ago

    Yes , you sent it. I like because is simple, classic and I can keep the elegance in the room, I don want to go to rustic

  • 9 years ago

    6" to no more than 8" above ... I love the photo above of this mirror..... yet...

    It's an expense and you need to get some info for any questions you have on any on line order. I have purchased from Front Gate and their sister store. We used to have an outlet here and I have a handful of things from them namely robes, bath linens, holiday decor and we have some outdoor furniture on our deck... it's all worked well for us.

    Talk tomorrow... good night

    thank you, good night

    I would put in a mirror where the mirror itself is antique. I would pick one with more of a glass reflection than a mirror reflection. Look at a company called spancraft...

  • 9 years ago

    Thank you, I love the concept

  • 9 years ago

    How about this one

  • 9 years ago

    I love a quatrefoil style yet if you go with a wood that's dark I'd keep the frame a tad more spare... if it a more heavy framed mirror more gold in tone perhaps?

    Many great options from A to Z above from the start.....

    I lean toward the Ethan Allen Rosette or similar...

    I also the the Gavin and the clover

    also love the gold quatrefoil

  • 9 years ago

    Thank you, the wisteria mirror doesn't fit, too big, i love it

  • 9 years ago

    55" high is too tall?

  • 9 years ago

    Yes , because the ceiling is vaulted, in the same almost touch the crown molding

  • 9 years ago

    55 plus 6 right?

  • 9 years ago

    The other rosette mirrors sent one was 50" tall the other 48"

    This one was so very reasonable was all.... Well, hmmm

  • 9 years ago

    yes, that's right.... the lower portion of the ceiling is where the snafoo is then?

    If you love the mirror you would have to do the 48 then if you try that with a metal tape... it's a great look for the room. I do love the antique glass one, don't remember which of them is the antique glass... believe it was Ethan Allen... Front Gate is 48"?

  • 9 years ago

    Yes frontgate is 48, west elm has a antique glass but is 38x55
