I admit defeat, now HELP!
Welcome to my home! Well...at least my living room. I'm in need of some help. Do you see the pic and vase above the fireplace? I love that picture and vase, but need something on the other side of the frame and am stumped! I've tried topiaries/candles/vases and the like and am just clueless as to why I like nothing I select. I figured it would request some help from my family/friends. If this were your room, what would you do? Please ignore the toys and the photos, I just wanted to give you a little idea of what you're up against.

Beautiful room! Hmmm that's a tough one, I would probably stagger 2-3 round pillar candles (the thick ones) of varying heights... but candles are always my go-to when I don't know what else to do!!
maybe you could do a candle with a darker wood candle holder.
Hey I love your home, wish I could be there in person to see it though!Ok here are my ideas for you...I know how much you love the willow tree angels you could get a nice pedastal, or decorate your own pedastal, and put a willow tree angel/figurine on top of it, or put a colorful candel on the pedastal. OR...you could get a black faceless figurine...like the people on the necklace you have Heather...they have really large ones like that, and put it there...you can find them at ross, tjmax, marshalls etc.
What about a large square framed photo of something minimalistic in black in white or something...like a shell, or a flower, just something simple so it doesn't take away from the large colorful painting and doesn't clash. Maybe a black a black frame too.
Since I come from Maine aren't you surprised and impressed that I didn't offer up some encouragement to put a stuffed, formerly alive squirrel up there? ;)
I don't have any ideas for you, but I wanted to tell you that you have a beautiful home! I love your decorating style.
I think it looks great. I like the candle ideas.
Love the first photo and I love your rug! Glad you figured out a solution!

What a beautiful space! We just re-arranged our living room and I wish mine looked half as good as yours! Love the frame and the vase, not really any help though...
love the first picture and your area rug! mabye try some select size and style of books. 2 maybe with a tiny 3rd one.
I want to sink into that sofa! Doesn't feng shui recommend a fountain on a mantle? ;)
Man what a cute home. I got nothign for sugesstions though, not my skill
Beautiful... The only thing I can think of is to be
asymetrical and scoot the artwork more to the left just a tad, to off center the whole thing. Then you wont need anything else. Maybe?? maybe not?
I don't think my house has ever been that clean. And if it has, it wouldn't stay that way long enough for me to take a picture.
And trust me, you don't want advice from me for decorating your house... The results could be frightening!
Your home is beautiful. Maybe you could find a small slim lamp. Maybe something a little older with some history to it. Look at a flea market or if all eles fails go to Kirklands. They have all types of cool lamps.
Alright I am the worst at this.. I think it looks great, but you are right there should be something else.
Nice home. As for the ideas I am going to leave that to the professionals to give you help. Our last house took me 2 years to get curtains hung up only because my mom got tired of seeing the newspaper glued yes glued to the window and she bought them and this new house 10 months later not a thing up but we have miniblinds oh thats right the blinds came inside the window. By the way its not a money thing its a well I have no clue thing
OK, wow. Your home is beautiful, and so clean! Sorry I can't help you with the interior decorating, looks like you've already got me beat by many many miles. : )
Very pretty living space! Tell us what you decided!
You have a beautiful living room! I'm terrible at decorating, so have no ideas though!
I am designer stupid, so I'm no help... but you have a beautiful living room!
wow you have a nice place!
You need a bobble head. Really big. Your choice who...
I would try candles at different levels or a single vase with twigs to give it some texture.
it's gorgeous!
i say go look through some magzines! i am NO HELP at decorating! unless it's a scrapbook page LOL!

What a beautiful room! Now that you've figured out what to do, you're going to show us another photo, right? I'd love to have you come decorate my house.
I already saw these, but I have to say i love your living room. It's beautiful! I want a new house
Can you come decorate my house? I'll let you leave out an accessory or two if mine could look more put together!
P.S. We got the styrofoam sword from some Dollar Store type place but I have since seen some at Toys R Us too. We've had it for over a year now.
excellent room! Love how clean and modern everything is!
Great room! I used to have that same rug!... it was one of my favorites, but hubby gave it away when we moved... darn him! :)
