[QUOTE="silverthwait, post: 78194, member: 103"]Well...here's what I would do if 'twere mine: I'd trim the bottom of that mirror neatly, and put it over the fireplace, or perhaps over a hall table on the way out the front door. Then I'd paint the chest white, and pick out the trim on the panels in a color that complimented my bedroom -- in my case a pale aqua blue. And add a silver trimmed mirror -- large, but very plain. OR: I'd use the mirror over a very plain (Parsons ilk) table, trimmed with lovely bottles of perfume, and a lovely clutch of flowers in a vase. The chest part would go in the dining room (assuming I do not have a sideboard...which, of course, I do). In that room, [I]I[/I] would still paint it, but if you didn't, I would not mind the awkwardness so much in the dining room.[/QUOTE]
