House in flux

I'm constantly moving stuff around our house...occasionally this happens as a result of bringing something new into the mix. This was the case with the mirror in our dining room. Et voila...what do you think?

It replaced a gold antique carved mirror and I'm really liking the larger size of the new one. It's from HomeGoods so it was only $200!

So the entry is the gold mirror's new home...

Which means that the botanical print got moved here...

While we're focusing on this area, check out my cool new black and white chevron throw. It's Nate Berkus from HSN! Never thought I'd be an HSN shopper, but the NB stuff lured me in (on the website, I do not watch it on TV). The quality of the throw is really impressive - it's very thick - and it was under $40!

Because I still hate the look of the right side of this room, I'm thinking of ordering the rug below to see if it improves. The current rug is too beige/bland/light. Thoughts?

Anyhow, back to the musical chairs mirrors/art talk. My husband's dad gave us this great mirror made from an old window and I initially thought to use it in the middle guest room, which is where it was put...long ago. You've never seen a photo of this room because it's been faithfully serving as my overgrown junk closet. I finally forced myself clean it out and thereby rediscovered the mirror. Since the color is blue, the executive decision was made to put it in the den. So...."hang giant window mirror" is officially crossed off my to-do list :)

I like how the old wood of the mirror looks next to the modern art.

Don't worry, there's more to this story. Like Phil said of Claire in Modern Family, I can "make lists for days" so the to-dos will never cease :) You'll have to see where Pink Floyd poster ends up. Quite the cliffhanger, eh? Stay tuned for the rest...to be posted on Monday!
