Angela Pascoe Still looking for some help

michigammemom Angela are you looking to use all of those decorative items on your hall table? Can you be more specific about what kind of help you desire?

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design It looks like you need to edit your accessories down to just a few and put the others on a shelf in the garage or attic so that you can rotate to them in a few months. That way you'll be better able to admire your pretty things when they have starring roles and are not just lost in the chorus line. So please try to limit your selections to three per tabletop, or in the case of that dresser, you could group three and also have a lamp.

In photo 3 it appears that your china cabinet is stuffed so full of beautiful things that we can't see the forest for the trees. Again, I recommend placing some in storage so that you can better view what's there.

Monica McCleary-Stuart Angela..I believe editing of your accessories are needed too... And are you planning on keeping your current artwork in addition to the mirrior in the space. If so that will help me give you my exact advice..Is the wall color new? Love the new light fixture!

Angela Pascoe Yes , I am planning on cutting down, was trying to show what I have and need help how to reuse them. Each pieces are part if a set.

Angela Pascoe Mirror us replacing the artwork.

Angela Pascoe No wall color is not new.

Angela Pascoe Carolyn that is my next step

Angela Pascoe Forgot to show the mirror

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design It's a lovely mirror and should look great over the dresser. I'd hang it about 4" above it.

Angela Pascoe Have this basket, what do you guys think. Need some colors I think and one more piece

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design The basket would be beautiful if it were all by itself on the chest. But if you need a lamp there, then it needs to go elsewhere.

Angela Pascoe Carolyn I think that it is too dark, need some color over there.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Show us some alternates please.

Darzy I like your new mirror. I think I'd try using one of your 3 piece sets on one side of the dresser, then a lamp on the other side. The basket is nice, for someplace else... maybe for magazines by a chair?

Angela Pascoe Here are the alternates with a used lamp of course.

Angela Pascoe These lamps were at Pier 1, not good pics because I had to take them from screen. My phone died in the store.

Angela Pascoe More lamps

Angela Pascoe @Carolyn how much glass stays to see the trees in the forest. The last two is change 1. Let me know if still too much.

Angela Pascoe @Carolyn, I want to thank you for suggesting that I show the tree. I de clutter my kitchen this weekend but convince myself that the two worse area held the stuff that was the most important to me. My family pics and stuff from my military days. But it was like a drill sergeant telling me that my shot group was not tight. So I have tighten them up a bit, not there yet but I will shortly.

Angela Pascoe Hope I don't confuse you but this was what I did so far.

Angela Pascoe Only the right side so far, have the left and top.

Angela Pascoe I also tried out some of the items removed from cabinet on top of desk

Angela Pascoe This was what the right side looked like

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design You've made a vast improvement in the china cabinet, but keep at it. I wish you would display some of those wonderful family photos on a wall. They could look great in a hallway or in your powder room, hung in tight formation. You can mix frames and should leave about 2" of space between pictures.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Angela, with all the vases you have, I suggest that instead of going out to find a new lamp, turn one of your tall vases into a lamp. You show a tall vase in a photo with an old brass lamp that has no shade. It looks to me like that vase would make a cool lamp. A lamp shop can do this for you. Ask for a price and have them help you select a shade for the lamp.

Angela Pascoe Carolyn are you referring to these

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Yes, the vase on the right could be made into a lamp. Or you could just get a shade for the lamp on the left...your choice.

Angela Pascoe I like the idea of trying to make the vase into a lamp. One mire question, the is brass and it is the only thing brass in the room does it matters only cause it is easier to get a shade vs making a lamp

Angela Pascoe Damn phones was trying to lamp is brass does it matters since nothing else is brass because it os easier to get a shade bs lamp made

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design You already have some gold on the mirror, so I would not worry about adding a brass lamp.

Angela Pascoe Just so I understand. Is it vase and lamp with two new lamp shade. I did tall vase vs small vase . or lamp by itself or vase by itself. I hope its not confusing

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design You must not use the brass lamp with the tall vase. The vase is TOO tall to use with the lamp. Something broader and shorter would work as an accessory on the dresser with a tall lamp. The lamp can be either the brass one with a shade or the vase made into a lamp with a shade, but not with both.

Angela Pascoe Ok got it, crystal clear. Lamp or vase with new shade. Thansk Monica for putting up with me and my 2000 questions.

Monica McCleary-Stuart Cant wait to see your room Angela!

Angela Pascoe Hi Monica and Carolyn check out what this girl did to the wall unit

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Wall unit is looking good!

Angela Pascoe Yes and thank you for the push, would you put anything on top or leave as is. Any different ideas to decorate.

Monica McCleary-Stuart NO leave as is...

Angela Pascoe Thanks

Angela Pascoe Going out now to get stuff to finish the door area

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design I would not put anything on top.

Darzy Much better! You can really enjoy the pieces individually. You have some pretty awesome collectibles. Love the curvacious lady with the white hat/dress!

Angela Pascoe Yes Darzy, they are close enough where I can just rotate them

ReMax - Lisa I always take my mothers advice.... Don't hang on to things in your home unless they are useful or beautiful! Also is anyone going to address the wall colour? Something much more neutral would show off the paired down beautiful treasures.. How about BM clay beige? One of my favourite neutrals.

Angela Pascoe Remax talk tonight about that same thing. I went into this thinking no but the more I move forward. The issue is floors

Angela Pascoe Remax do you think that the beige will match the floor

ReMax - Lisa Sorry - I don't know what colour the floors are - I didn't see any pics of the floor. The clay beige I mentioned is very neutral though and should go with most wood flooring

Angela Pascoe The third pic from top has the floors

Angela Pascoe Floor is tile also not wood

Angela Pascoe Probably a better lamp shade but I think I am feeling better about the 2nd one

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design In the photos above, I like the plate and vase in photo 3. I would reverse the locations of the plate and the vase and add the lamp to the right, removing the small object that is located back right which looks like it might be a candle.

Angela Pascoe This way one or two vase

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Angela, I prefer the plate with 1 vase, but would move the plate 2" back toward mirror and 2" to right. I would then place the vase in front of the plate, off center to the right. Move lamp 2" to left.

An alternate arrangement would be the 3 vases plus the lamp. If you do this, the vases move to the left third of dresser top and the lamp moves 2" left.

Angela Pascoe Like this

Angela Pascoe Or this, like this better, don't make the vase seem so overpowering which was the feeling I was getting. Do you also think the lamp shade is okay

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design I prefer the plate and 1 vase plus the lamp. Looks great!

Angela Pascoe Started with this and this is final result.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Nice progress, Angela, and I know you'll be taking the wrap off the lampshade now.

Angela Pascoe I will since you like it.

Angela Pascoe So mirror and new light us up. I tweak the lamp shade. I must say thanks for the help as I am happy with result.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design It looks great!

Angela Pascoe @Carolyn, I think so the new shade also picks up from the rug in living room. I am also looking at curtains, what do you think of these.

Angela Pascoe Keep in mind looking for end table and decor, coffee table decor also to tie it all in.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design The drapery panel is too short and too colorful for me. I'd prefer something more neutral such as taupe.

Angela Pascoe I am waiting on handyman to lower them. He was to finish today but only finish the mirror. I did add a taupe also it was too thin but that is an option too since I seem to be only have gotten three so far

Angela Pascoe Do you have any suggestions.

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design Pottery Barn and others have draperies in a linen/cotton mix. I also like other blends that look like linen.
