I love the wall color and agree that if you painted the cover it would be less noticeable. IKEA usually has great prices (if you are lucky enough to be near one).

LONGER TABLE get a sofa table, go to a thrift store and paint one That is what I did in my house – I wish I could post a picture on here – hmmm – email me and I can send you a picture – greendoordesigns@gmail.com. It is the perfect size for that space. Then I like your Ark print, but I don’t think I would hang it, but instead put it on an easel – that or put a mat around it if you want to frame it – but it needs to be bigger and I wouldn’t put it on the wall by the clock. The clock is gorgeous and needs to be alone – IMO. Then I like the urns, but i don’t know if I like the pumpkins coming out of the urns, maybe just to the sides of them? I would have to play around with it, but first you need a bigger table and the picture off the wall to start with the base and then build from there

It looks adorable and welcoming. Just what you want. A longer thinner table would be nice, but might not be in the budget. Painting the vent is a wonderful inexpensive idea. I'd tweek the vignette itself by changing out the square candle holder. I think a softer shape would help.

I host a weekly meme called Seasonal Sundays where everyone shares their ideas of what the season means to them. I'd love to have you come and join us.

I think a longer table would work too! I have the same shape table (a little bigger though) in our foyer area and Casey is currently making me a long one wiht shelves for books and baskets…big enough for two lamps. Anyway, I love the pumpkins and urns though! Way cute! I always love your fall stuff! And what is this talk of moving!? Amy Simon

I agree, a longer table, paint the grate and a taller arrangement from the white urn will draw the eye upwards away from your large vent. Looks great now but maybe just a few changes in position of most of the things you already have.

I do like the idea of a “sofa” table there. I didn’t even notice the grate until you mentioned it–so having some sort of table there is helping. I love your vignette!!!!

Thank you all for your suggestions – keep them coming! I appreciate the painting ideas – DH disapproves greatly of that idea. I am respecting his wishes.

Now – where can I get a CHEAP table to fit the bill?

I have the same problem in my sunroom. I used a longer sofa table. It seems to help take the focus off of the vent. Good Luck! Carla

I like the suggestion to change the table to a longer table, then in the white urn, add a tall arrangement and move the clock to the left to balance it out. You could then put the AR frame on an easel. But I really am better at decorating when I can see the surrounding area and how it all works together!

I think the heater vent sticks out because of the color now, maybe you could paint it? I also agree a longer thinner table might be better idea.
