HELP ME WEDNESDAY–Left-Justified Table and Mirror?

February 15, 2012 |

 

Hey, it’s Wednesday! I loved seeing the responses in the comments here and on facebook as to what you thought I should do with the bench in question. I really like the idea of covering it with a fabric that has the aqua color in it, but also other colors in it to give the colorful punch I’m looking for. Someone suggested something wipeable, and I LOVE that idea!!

Although if you commented saying that you want it and want to come hang out, ummm, yeah I do like that option better! 😉

I cleaned and moved things around in our foyer area and thought of a good question for today’s post.

So here’s my question:

I mean, I know I can do what I want (snap, snap, snap) in my house, but does it look off to you? Does the left justified mirror make you want to break in to my house, slap me, and slide things over so that the mirror is centered?

I like it. I think it changes things up a bit and makes more space in the area. Plus I do what I waaaant so yeah. 😉 But I’m curious to see what you think!

    I am planning right now on how to sneak into your house and center that mirror.... o.O

    LOL! I'm sorry, being a graphic designer in my past life, I liked your comment about left justified. I think it could work. Do you have a painting you could lean against the right side of the mirror to (as everyone else has said) balance it?

    I think it looks good, but I agree the two frames should be moved over and I would rearrange the items on the table.

    Hi, I think centered looks better! Off center looks as though you slid the table down but didn't have a chance to re-center the mirror. Or maybe that your hubby is limiting the number of holes you put in the wall, lol!

    I guess I am with everyone else. I think off center totally rocks, but I do feel like you need something on the other side to balance it a bit. Something taller on the table (like a picture leaning) or something on the wall. You are so brave to ask people their opinions. You can mail me that fan ASAP. Love it!

    I, too, LOVE the off centered look but think either the 2 frames need to be moved in closer or something needs to go there to balance it some. It looks great though!

    Hi! I think it looks good, but like the previous two said, you need something to balance the other side. A tall lamp to the right and/or move the framed pictures in closer. But I do like the Not centered look!

    The off-centered mirror is great but I think a tall lamp to the right side of it would balance it out and finish it off nicely!

    I love things to be 'off' once in a while and I like your mirror to the left, however, I'd move the framed prints over to left to be within the space of the table. 🙂
