Mock Up Madness

Now that the pretty wallpaper is up, I don't want to mar it with extraneous holes. So I'm mocking up the vanity mirror placement and orientation with rosin paper. If only I could decide if horizontal or vertical is better. Which do you prefer?

    Love what you've done! I'd definitely say I like the horizontal better!

    We like the wall paper. We decided we like the horizontial mirrors because of the spacing between the lights. Things look like they are coming together.

    I'm with Anna! Do horizontal. Love the lights too! Very nautical.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still torn, as Jeff prefers vertical and I could really go either way. I don't like the big gap below the horizontal mirror, but it has to be that high for Jeff to see the top of his head! I do like that the vertical mirror draws the eye up and makes the room look taller, but I like the fresh, modern style of the horizontal. Decisions, decisions!

    I love the sconces, too; bought them on clearance in the outdoor lighting department! They're often called onion lights and are styled on the old oil lamps used for whale fishing. So definitely nautical ;-)

    Add me as #4 for horizontal. :) While the vertical may make the room look larger it seems to also make the vanities look smaller.

    I actually prefer the vertical position. The spacing with the lights is offset with the reflection of the lights when they are turned on as you have it in your close up of the vertical. I think it looks more traditional with the vertical mirror and having the draws on the vanities will probably make them look a little fuller also. Sorry to add even more uncertainty with an opposite opinion :)

    Nice! At first glance, I thought horizontal for sure, but the more I look at it, the more I like the vertical. I'm not a big fan of clutter--and not to say that this is cluttered--but vertical mirrors would add more space. Just a personal preference. :) I think horizontal mirrors give it a more homey, inviting feel. Vertical seems a little more regal and contemporary. Just my thinklings. :)
