Definitely no on the family portrait!

If money is a concern, you can find interesting second hand mirrors that look great.

Trashy and the optimal height of the TV is 10 degrees max from the height of your eyes when watching.

I have vases and a pretty oil painting. I would love an antique clock saw it in a magazine and loved the look.

Art or mirror in center - art should be landscape or abstract
Decorative accents around

Love a mirror over the mantel. That said we have an inherited painting (seascape) over ours.

Yes to mirror. A big NO to family portrait! A large painting instead - abstract or scenery.

We have an old fireplace with mantel and I need to decorate mantel with something over it. What can I put above mantel? I have custom shelves and cabinets built in on born sides of mantel. I like coastal look. Any ideas how to best decorate this space? Thanks
