I love your blue chairs and the art including the side tables and lamps.

In fact, the doorbell and other box aren't really noticeable. You see it because it's your home, everyone else would just dismiss it or not even really notice it. Don't put anything over it because you will draw attention to that area of the wall.

woah, it is beautiful! I understand your frustration with the boxes, do you have lots of extra funds? If you do, go ahead and move them. doubtful anything else will make you happy. But to me, it falls under the must have so you ignore it. The eye does see it, but it just as quickly ignores it, because they are of no consequence.

If they bother you need to find our exactly what they are. I had something similar,it turned out they were for the door bell and decided to disconnect it rather than have them on the wall. No, I did not get use to them or could I ignore it. It was on a wall I wanted to hang a piece of art and it was way to distracting for me.

Denita and havingfun: Thanks for the kind words. I especially love "The eye does not see it, but it just as quickly ignores it, because they are of no consequence." I will have to keep reminding myself of that bit of wisdom.

groveraxle: I see your point about calling more attention to it. I actually did have the chairs spaced apart but my crazy cat thought it was her personal hiding space. All was cute until later when she wanted to get out, then she proceeded to CLAW her way up my new chair. So there's an example of love of pets over proper design. I also see what you are saying about the lamps. It got worse after the art was hung, it seemed to dwarf them . I am going to move them to a guest room and do a something larger and not in blue. Thanks for the fresh eyes!

Love your chairs and painting. Just a dumb question, why can't these be dropped down to just above the baseboard? I would think that should be doable by an electrician. I would think no more difficult to move than a chandelier box.

I know you didn't ask, but since you mentioned the art, I'd have gone bigger, chosen something with a bit more interest and that wasn't so repetitious of the blue, and hung it like this:

You can always find out what moving them would cost. Depends on how much they bug you, because the rest of us will note so much more about your beautiful space.

groveraxle: what size is that? I had a hard enough time finding something I liked in the
72"x48" . Seems there is so much out there that is 60"x40". Not to mention the one I got wasn't several thousand dollars as many really huge art pieces are. That just isn't in our budget with the house, and pool we built.
And I did blue in the art because the rest of the room is so white and cream. White kitchen , cream couches. I am going to get some art for the wall opposite the blue chairs in hot pink and orange to add a pop.

Sonja, I think you are psychic! We were just talking about moving the chandelier box in our former dining room that is now home to a new pool table. Dining room was moved to former den. Chandelier looks good as a pool table light but placement is now off center. I will ask electrician if he can do both.

Bar across pool table, white and stainless. Cream couches in great room before art was hung.

Love the colors you have going on in the room. So rich and deep!

If it makes you feel any better, yes, it could be much worse. Here is my blank wall *before*. How do you like that! They must hate art...

We replaced absolutely all light switches in our home with Legrand Adorne, and it's a much better, more streamlined look. This wall is now filled with African masks.

I agree with other above me that you don't want to call too much attention to those boxes.

Just keep on working on personal touches for your room and ignore them :)!

HI Hamma, thanks! Do you have a picture of the African masks? Would love to see something so cool and different!

We had several white HRV vents and a white door bell box. We painted them the same color as the walls and they are less noticeable.

lshack17, I'm slightly (haha!) obsessed, so here are just some of them :). More of those guys (and gals!) live on the other side of the room :).

Paint the covers the same color as the wall and learn to live with them.

We had our doorbell box on a conspicuous wall like that in our family room. My hubby was able to move it to the wall directly behind where it had originally been so that it ended up in my kitchen, just above some cabinets that housed my double ovens. We could hear it just as well and you never saw it again unless you were standing high on a ladder working up towards the ceiling.

Hi all, thanks for the advice!

Hamma, LOVE them! So unique, the way you have them grouped is so clean looking, too. Thanks for sharing!

One is doorbell? I would remove and consider a wireless. The other--is it CO or fire? I would pay to move. Miticulous oversight and approval of all the wiring /electrical and HVAC plans is so critical when building--drives me crazy but otherwise installers will often place where it is easiest for them to install.

Prime and paint the same color as the wall.

lshack17, the art I hung in your room is 84 x 84". It's from art.com, their Loft Art collection. This isn't it, but the link will take you to the site where you can browse their oversized art.

Thanks so much! I have been on art. com many times and never saw this size. I will check it out

Thank you, lshack17 :). You're too kind.

Good luck with your beautiful room!
