[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 130523, member: 103"]Ahem! What Komokwa said is not necessarily true! A room done all to one period can be charming, but also static, and devoid of the personality of the owner. The [I]controlled [/I]ornateness of your dressing table lends itself to any number of permutations. An Eames chair for instance, can work quite as well as a little chintz-upholstered, down-filled armchair. Your mirror can be complemented by others in plain silver or gold frames (or, very ornate ones). Figure out what you need in the way of furniture, and then find items you like. More often than not, everything will fit together -- and if not, you will know...something in you will realize that, for instance, some particular picture, nice though it is, belongs elsewhere. There [I]are [/I]people who do not have this innate sense, but you chose that dressing table, so you are not one of them.[/QUOTE]
