The basket would add texture and the plant the height. I also like the idea of a tall floor lamp...tall being the operative word. I also think I would live with the inconvenience of easy access to have the sofa in lenghwise across the room. Hurdles are good for the thighs!

An answer to them could easily become a new post...<br /><br />Sconces would have to be almost architecturally large maybe domed or arched - an idea I could get behind.<br /><br />The christmas tree on one side would work but light is a problem for any live plants...And while I don't mind repeating an element (such as the windows on each side)it becomes a question of similarities in size and mass rather than getting into matching *sets* of anything. <br /><br />I did try the sofa across the room earlier this summer. The room is 11 feet wide and the sofa is 7. Centered it doesn't allow easy passage and it just looks dumb pushed to one wall. Angled doesn't work either. I do prefer the purple sofa down here even though the white set allows more options for arrangement. The colors work together better. I'll try to take a few more pictures.<br /><br />Keep the ideas coming. I'm in no hurry and will just poke away until I find the right combination.<br /><br /> ilonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549380953245364444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453793770306651659.post-42713576651409645872012-10-17T21:03:22.716-05:002012-10-17T21:03:22.716-05:00Wall sconces?

Wall to ceiling bookscases seem to be the default option, but then you need to make the bookcases look great. I pinned a couple of options to my home board, but they may not be there for long. I can understand your frustration.<br />Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776102418460241375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453793770306651659.post-75748329271134161262012-10-17T20:47:26.595-05:002012-10-17T20:47:26.595-05:00An early Christmas tree on one side?

I love the Wednesday version and the fact that you found a use for the windows from Hampton. I love the mantel itself, but the walls on either side are not quite there yet IMHO. The look is too squared off. Do you have anything round? A round mirror to hang over one of the side tables/cases for now? How does your other furniture look in the living room?<br /><br />What if you don't use the sliding doors during the winter so that you could place the couch facing the fireplace?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776102418460241375noreply@blogger.com
