The console table and mirror sound like a great idea - maybe even a nice tall plant that crosses some of the different angles (like a fiddle-leaf fig), adding an organic element to the angles. <br />The spot upstairs is so nice without the art section, nothing like some blank space to calm the mind.<br />Good luck!<br />jenniferdouglas.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-9656529986077555422012-02-26T21:30:13.386-08:002012-02-26T21:30:13.386-08:00I was going to suggest a small console table and m...I was going to suggest a small console table and mirror! :) I think it looks great, and the empty area upstairs is actually quite soothing!Juleshttp://www.pancakesandfrenchfries.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-7655196678707345532012-02-24T09:44:15.750-08:002012-02-24T09:44:15.750-08:00Alice & Amy: thank you!

That space is quite narrow, so it's a challenge to find something that fits. <br /><br />And Clydewoma: anglelicious! Love that. :-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-69678253578341616032012-02-24T07:42:22.897-08:002012-02-24T07:42:22.897-08:00I kinda like those little shelves.

I really like the upstairs area without the tables and magnet strip. Good call to take it away & leave it as-is. I also really like the blue walls upstairs - makes it even more airy.That's Ms. Amy to You...https://www.blogger.com/profile/18357451593852423745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-52348849490342475182012-02-23T21:26:49.670-08:002012-02-23T21:26:49.670-08:00You certainly have some challenges, but the space ...You certainly have some challenges, but the space is also really beautiful. I agree with both of you, that landing area is great. The entry might do well with something {one thing} that is larger, to match the scale of everything else, like a giant plant, or a large leaning mirror with a cool frame, or something like that...A mirror by the door is always handy-to be able to double check your teeth before you answer a knock, or to inspect your outfit before leaving home in it.

And it wouldn't really fit the house, either. Thanks for your comments about my upstairs area. I like it too. :-)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-52385893022655095942012-02-23T14:00:11.301-08:002012-02-23T14:00:11.301-08:00I'm sorry the w doesn't work well on my la...I'm sorry the w doesn't work well on my laptop!Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2425727782334917141.post-70297507296026260672012-02-23T13:59:15.461-08:002012-02-23T13:59:15.461-08:00Interesting.

I onder too, if your spec home version didn't have railings there instead of solid walls--that ould definitely cut don on all the perceived weird angles, if not the actual angles. Your balcony area--where you had the lack tables-- reminds me of being up in the second floor area of an old church. That's the feel of it for me. It is beautiful.<br /><br />Good call to live with blank spaces for a hile. Let them speak to you.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.com
