Dear Decorating Advisors

Silver Chest #1
Okay then kids - I need your advice. I've moved from a house built in 1840 with high ceilings to a little cinder block ranch house built in 1950. I had to actually dump large pieces of furniture at consignment stores along the way on moving day. Now I need some lighter fun pieces and have in my mind that I need a silver painted or mirrored chest for my living room. 

This is the selection I can find. What do you think? Which one do you like best? Let me know in comments which one strikes your fancy.

#1. I like the simpler lines.

Lowandslow said...

I agree...#1...it fits better with mid-century.

Thanks gentlemen. I am getting responses on FB as well. I think all but #2 and #3 have been mentioned.

#1 or #5 .... they are classic, but modern. Love them all, but 1 & 5 are tops in my opinion! :)

Rick said...

I like #5. Don't know why.

Kate said...

Initially I thought #1, but I think it's too contemporary. Clean lines yes, but too modern. I like #3 because it has a traditional look, but it is still simple and uncluttered. Clean yet curved lines. Would go well in a traditional or modern setting.

really like number five the best. Elegant and yet I could see it in all sorts of rooms. Really liked it.

Susan Moorhead said...

my second choice is the first one. It was also very appealing.

Charlestonjoan said...

Hmmm...found some reviews for #1 that says the mirrored finish cracks easily. Keep the suggestions coming! I am swaying to #5.

Julia said...

If the mirrored finish cracks on 1 I'd go with 5. It also depends if you need a cabinet or drawers, but if either is equal, 5 is really lovely!! (Of course the nice cocktail selection on top might be prejudicing my vote ;-).

Charlestonjoan said...

We are on the same track!

I like 1 and 5!

Rick said...

But those feet look so clunky...

hmmmm, definitely #1 but... cracks... boo... #5 i guess would be the next choice, but it's very different, (shelves instead of drawers, taller instead of wider, I guess it depends on the spot you need it for... ?
You're right, this IS fun! Good luck Joan!

#5 if your decor is kind of fancy. If more simple, then #1. (I prefer #5.)

Charlestonjoan said...

Y'all are just great! Too bad I couldn't invite you all over to help me decide! Thanks much. Now I balance the preferences with the paycheck :). I don't want anything glossy mirror finish that would show every fingerprint or something that will break too easy. I'll let you know what I decide. It has been fun needing to shop a bit!

Charlestonjoan said...

Not fancy but I am swaying towards #5. I think it is actually less fancy that the mirror.

Oh la la Joan, I'm a bit late but I'll put my two bobs worth in anyway, j'adore no. 2 and also no 5, must read on and find out if you have made a choice yet!!

Oh yay! Virtual shopping. I like #5 the best. Great minds.

Beverly said...

I'm loving #3.

Charlestonjoan said...

I am thinking #5. I was already to click to order it last night and thought I'd mull it over one more day. Also - tomorrow is pay day :)

Charlestonjoan said...

Yeah! #5! I don't want anything too mirror shiny that will leave fingerprints every time you touch it. Also don't want one that will crack and scratch too easily. This is fun!

Charlestonjoan said...

Soon!Hope they don't sell out while I ponder!

Pamela said...

Definitely #5!

Charlestonjoan said...

Just ordered Chest #5. Woohoo!
