My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      Definitely the mirror, much more dramatic

      Does the tea light holder still have a place in this room (on the opposite wall)or will there be too much drama going on with both?
    • 12 years ago
      The mirror is very cool

      I vote for the mirror. The room is gorgeous. What is the paint color on the wall.

      I prefer the starburst mirror. I think you should raise it a little higher so that it is more centered between the bed headboard and the ceiling. Very pretty room.
    • 12 years ago
      Thanks...I will be placing it higher...it's just resting on the headboard for the pic :-)

      Use the tealights in another space in your home. Do you have a spa where you could hang them for atmosphere?
    • 12 years ago
      I like the tea lights.
    • 12 years ago
      Tea lights. Mirror is too heavy and will dominate the room. Tea lights guide your eye from one side of the room to other. Plays well with hanging light fixtures. Bold up the pillows for foundation and balance.
    • 12 years ago
      I think I would prefer the two framed pieces on the nightstands to go above the bed;)
    • 12 years ago
      Mirror is better shape and statement

      I love the mirror as it has way more impact.
    • 12 years ago
      Mirror...
    • 12 years ago
      Kind of a tie for me, both look very nice!
    • 12 years ago
      I definitely prefer the tea lights. Its shape is a continuation of the headboard and looks more integrated with the bed. I find the shape of the mirror jarring next to the headboard.
    • 12 years ago
      I agree with grover - I kind of prefer the tea lights too, but was reluctant to say so because such a majority liked the mirror. I was second guessing my initial reaction since it was so different than the majority:)
    • 12 years ago
      I like them both but upkeep (dusting) sways me to the mirror. Nice room.
    • 12 years ago
      Starburst mirror for sure. It fills the space up nicely and complements the color of the wall nicely.

      Its hard to tell about the radiator cover without seeing more of the room. From the picture you have here I think you might want to just paint it the wall color so that it just blends in.

      Mirror

      I like the unexpectedness of the tea light art. The mirror is so expected.
    • 12 years ago
      Mirror and hang the pictures above the bedside tables
    • 12 years ago
      I like the tea light art better because the black in the tea light matches the black in the headboard and the sparkly lights look nice with the chandeliers hanging down on each side. They are both sparkly and go together:)
