WW, I congratulate you for trying this new arrangement! I love it and you achieved the open feeling you want!!

With the end table gone, I think any of those coffee tables would work in the room. I is a matter of your personal choice. Obviously, the first ones take you more modern and give a more open feeling. The only one I think is a little boring is the cedar one. Nothing wrong with it,just doesn't seem special.

Can you center the couch on the window or do you not want to for some reason?

Another vote for the gray marble topped with wood base. With the new arrangement, do you have another place to put your round table you wanted to use.

I want to add, I agree the glass tables would be a maintenance issue as bluenan said, but I do like both of the new glass choices - not nearly as much as the one with the grass on it, but they're both nice.

Alright! We are there. Thanks. Now I need help finding a console! Should I start a new thread? Feels a little weird to still have the photos up from the previous owners..

Yes, start a new thread or people will keep commenting on the original question. Make sure to give us the link!

I like the marble glass table pic #3, #4. Works with all the wood trim on windows and fireplace and sofa. Is fresh, interesting and lightweight visually. Mostly, it adds a fresh take on the room, bringing in contemporary.

I was just thinking the table with the grass on it would tie in really well with some of the bookcases you had posted!

I agree CDR. I hope that's the choice:)

Hooray!

It's fantastic WW!

Love it!

Love the table! Love the couch centered and lamps balanced!!!! Feels very open.

Very nice and blends nicely with the fireplace...what do you think?

I might spin the sofa opposite the fireplace and flank it with the chairs. Set the foot stool in between the chairs maybe. That window is too lovely to hide and is a design plus for sure.
(:

Also using the small table chairs on either sides of the buffet just seems natural. (: pictures after please.

Love Revere Pewter. Have it throughout my own home.

So if I get the art we discussed earlier (blue abstract) on canvas (without glass), it would come in this size. A little smaller than previously discussed. What do you think. Is this size ok?

I think the 32x32 you outlined way back is a better choice. This size seems swallowed by the sconces. Is it framed?

Also.. It's on stretched canvas. No frame or mat..

Okay. Then you can get it framed and achieve a a larger footprint. What is the size of it currently?

Not your room, but just showing similar sconces with more vertical art that works in a room.

[houzz=]

It looks too small to my eye. What makes the example above work is the extended height that balances the size of the art to the sconces.

I think you need a larger size. More size difference for no visual competition.

The stretched canvas is 28" wide by 24" high. Should I get it and then try to get it framed so it's 32x32? Or should I just buy the one with the glass? It's already 32x32.

The canvas is almost twice the price.. So I guess my question is: is it really worth it?

If the canvas is 28 x 42, you will not be able to achieve a square by adding a frame. A 2" frame, for example, would make it 32x 28. So, it would be vertical, as in the art I posted above (not that vertical, but vertical nonetheless)

Of course up to you, weighing price, etc. You might want to hang one of your other framed prints that are under glass and see how they look with the sconces on, fireplace on.

My concern is the light reflection.

Also, you can check to see if the glass on the 32 x 32 is non reflective. Or, you can check into the price of replacing the glass in the 32 x 32 with non reflective.

It is worth it if it looks right. Otherwise it will continue to bother you and then you will go out and purchase again.

This is the art, right? I wonder if it has too much yellow in it, next to the taupe fireplace. I don't see any other yellow in the room, except for the bench.

and fireplace

O wow! Lots of changes, I have to say, I loved the look before as well,

"Before" was the previous owner's room:)

Just spent a great hour reading all this......and have to say your room is just beautiful and you have had a great design team to work with.

Hi CDR. Do you prefer any of these?

Couple more

fireplace

top2: too yellow
bottom left: goes with fireplace and room , but no blue. Did you want to add blue in art?
bottom right: goes with fp, but blue is aqua, not navy
top , 2nd set: good blue and no yellow, so colors work.
bottom, second set: yellow, so no.


Overall: not thrilled with any.

-I wouldn't choose a print with glass. I think you are going to have a lot of light bouncing off of it. Choose canvas
-blue pillows are very dominant. I would find something with at least some of that bold blue in it. The neutral color should be the color of fp and/or gray/not yellow.

31x31
$29.

I have seen this and the blue is more prominent than it looks online.

Thanks CDR. Nice suggestion. Just curious.. Would my first suggestion work if I introduced some soft yellow as an accent into the room? I like the print. It's soft and a little feminine.

I love your first pick, top left! It's not necessary to have every color of a piece of art in your room for it to work well.

Sometimes colors are off on monitors, but it seems you could find something that has more earthy colors like the fireplace.

Also, again, I caution against something under glass there.

Does this appeal to you?

I love 1, 3, and 4 of the first set WW!

I also like the last canvas suggested by CDR.

Like 1 and 3 of first set.

Wickedwhite, I wonder if we should rethink the fireplace.

It has been awhile and I know you looked at mirrors and art objects, as opposed to art.

Can you tell us what your thoughts are? Do you want art there? Do you want a mirror there?

What about something else? Maybe metal (not the cheapy stuff) to coordinate with your sconces.

What color is the finish on the sconces? Sometimes it looks gold and other times pewter tone.

Just throwing out ideas to see if any of them stick. One is a joke. Can you guess which one?

What about a couple of your precious pictures reframed in something larger and just propped on fp

I've started a new post
http://houzz.com/discussions/823193

Hard to space plan without seeing the entire house, or at least seeing the space “in plan”=the floorplan. But from what I can see, the couch is the anchor of the room…it is the heaviest piece, so I’d put it on the wall opposite the fireplace. I would keep the coffee table parallel to the couch as you have it. The spare chairs don’t bother me on the flanks of the fireplace. I’d then separate the lounge chairs by keeping one in place with the side table, and then moving the other opposite the coffee table. I would try that for starters and because this protocol doesn’t entail buying anything new. Once you have moved the pieces in place you can see if there is a place for the ottoman. Right now it looks as though it may have to leave the room and find another place in your home seeing how you can land a plane on that coffee table! good luck!

Old post, new one is posted 2 up :)

Another vote for the gray marble topped with wood base. With the new arrangement, do you have another place to put your round table you wanted to use.
