I think the idea itself is crafty, but a little meh in the end result. Glad she got a bargain, glad the thrift store got a sale. Repurposing the art itself gets a bigger thrill out of me (example here: http://thriftstoreconfidential.com/?p=516).

Huzzah! I've actually just removed the rugs and a few other things - it feels great to just have a place to begin. Thanks to all for the advice and support, and Pamh, thanks for the specificity and offer of help. I may have to wait on a new sofa for a little bit - how can I paint the wood on this one without it getting natty? While I'm at it, and since I have a room full of brilliant minds, what are your thoughts about painting a small, dark room gray? I like the concept, but fear that the execution will leave me feeling like I'm in Sing Sing... Ideas & Inspirations for Multi-Functional Room? Good Questions Flag this comment	9/2/10 12:51 PM
Wow. Thanks all! Lots of great stuff here, and I can't tell you how much your comments help me look at this objectively. Please keep them coming - they're awfully encouraging! The walls are a very pale pink (they were UPS brown when I moved in, with a dropped acoustical ceiling to boot). I'm loathe to paint again, but will consider it. I realize the mirrors are adding to the cluttered, "snaggletooth" feel, but there's very little light in this room. Will work on editing and rearranging over the weekend, and look forward to posting an update soon. Thanks again, with best wishes for a great holiday weekend!
