    It is hard to see exactly how large the room is. would be better to get a wider shot, floor plan or panorama. I love that art you have but i think it may be too tall with the table. It may make the room look larger if you hung those in a place where there is no furniture--centered between the ceiling and floor. Also, I love those barstools but the texture and color are so close to the table texture that it almost takes away from the beauty of the table. I would use something that will be a contrast to it so that your eye is drawn directly to the table (because it is beautiful). Could you take that mirror in the corner and hang it horizontally above this table and move the horses on the blank wall?

    If you hang that mirror above the table i would be sure to put a table lamp on it as well as a plant, like an orchid. The lamp will give you more light if it is in front of a mirror.

    Also, you could put a fiddle leaf fig tree where the mirror is. These plants are SO popular right now and their huge leaves are so beautiful.

    Do these shots help? the first is from the front door, the second is from the back slider

    I think I'd let the beautiful horse art to stand alone on that wall (hung lower). Then, put your console/stools behind the sofa like a sofa table/laptop space.

    Put mirror in corner over bar horizontally. Horse picture ( which are great) on wall above ottoman and opposite wall by door. Facing each other. Hang low.

    I like that idea too Darzy!

    Counter stools see Restoration Hardware, metal ones, industrial look. With backs. Good job.

    Darzy said just exactly what I was thinking!

    I like Darzy idea too. Hide back of sofa. Pic stay, just lower. Instead of tall mirror in corner lean on wall where ottoman is.

    The horses are the stars here and they aren't hanging where they can be enjoyed by the people on the seats. We need to see more of the room to advise on where they should hang, but I agree with Darzy on the console and stools behind the sofa, wherever it ends up.
    Please post better views. Best way is to start at the door into the room and click at every mid-wall and corner as you move clockwise around the space. That way we'll understand more about dimensions et al. Thanks.

    Can you place the table & stools behind the sofa so that you're facing into the room while you're sitting at it?

    I am going to add dimensions tomorrow. I am thinking about losing the mirror altogether. if I were only to keep the pictures how else can I create the space. I am struggling with the idea of another seating area as I think that will not flow.....

    I'm not crazy about the mirror so glad to see it go. We need pix to help determine how to better arrange things. You'll be surprised at what we come up with to showcase your horses in a great stylish setting.

    Love the horse pics! I think your work table is neat... may want to experiment with moving pics to blank wall... play with it a little, you will find your sweet spot.

    mjarch, do you not like the idea of trying the table behind the sofa? I like that table and the stools too and am hoping you keep them.

    I agree with the table behind the sofa ,but somehow the table looks too high to be placed there ,would it be possible for you to take a picture of it placed behind the sofa with the stools under it ?


    the pictures are nice but they need a little space in between .
