I never like mirrors in DR they reflect usually nothing worth seeing twice and no one likes to see themselves eating. A great piece of art is a much better choice I am a bit confused withn the chandeleir choice but it is something you love so go for it.

Bedroom dresser vibe.

Classic. Element.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the input!

@Patricia -- I know the chandelier isn't a perfect match, I stupidly fell in love with it before buying any of my other dining room furniture. BUT on the other hand wasn't drawn to any MCM-y fixtures prior to discovering this one. I think since we already have an eclectic vibe, it complements the rest of the decor fairly well.

@Patricia & Ida -- ditto to the "no one wants to see themselves eating" comments. My sister said it to me yesterday.. Since we have a relatively small space, I thought a mirror would give the illusion of more space and brighten things up a little. And like Ida said: classic element, reflect the pretty chandelier, etc.

I'm thinking I either need to borrow or buy a rectangular mirror just to see what it looks like. If it's terrible I know I need to go in the direction of artwork, maybe gallery wall? Wanted to avoid that because then I'd have to put together a cohesive grouping of artwork and photos. :\

I was considering a round, tinted mirror but am afraid I'll strike out again. This one is amber, also available in rose or grey tinted..

What about a starburst mirror? Sorry I'm stuck on mirrors, again, small / darkish dining area, trying to brighten it up and give the illusion of more space.

No to the starburst. Trite. Overdone. Marshalls. Home Goods.

The starburst has too many little pieces similar to your chandelier. I think a mirror is fine there, either the one you have or the one above. A large rectangular one would also work. If you stick with the round one, it needs to be balanced by other things on the buffet, especially if it is not centered. Try a lamp on the large end of the buffet, and something low and horizontal on the side under the mirror. Post of photo standing back to view the whole buffet with mirror above it.

Just make your life simple get one larger piece of art and be done. BTW yes people always look at a mirror o their reflections in shop windows it is human nature.

Oh my gosh I LOVE the idea of the tinted mirror! That gets my vote!

For some reason it strikes me as much more MCM-y than a clear one...

And, as far as the chandelier goes, I think it's great....I think you have to mix things up somewhat, or you risk your house looking like a museum, right?
