Our Own House - The Library/Tea Room, as work in progress (II)

This is our Library/Tea room, the way it looks at the moment - as work in progress.

Here is what I have done in/with this space since my previous post.
I brought in a few furniture pieces:
- a round white table;
- a white glossy desk / console table;
- a bookshelf;
and more lighting and accessories:
- two tall table lights for the desk / console in the wall niche;
- two very large mirrors.

Do you remember? Behind the two large mirrors were (and still are) two windows. Have a look here.

I chose to place two large mirrors in front of these windows:

- because the space has plenty of natural light coming from the courtyard, so I can 'afford to lose' these windows;

- because although I covered the windows the mirrors capture a lot of light, and they greatly reflect both the indoor space as well the outdoor (the courtyard); 

- because the mirrors make the space so much larger;

- and because I just like mirrors. 

So, in addition to 'Library' and 'Tea room' I suppose I could call this room the 'Mirrors room' too.

At the moment, the mirrors are leaning against the wall. They have to be hung up on the wall.

The color scheme is white and brown with green, silver, gold, and black accents. 

For this space I like this color scheme very much - it's calm, quiet, elegant, and with so many mirrors around I feel it's enough interest coming from the mirrors, and I don't need to add more interest in the form of color. I think I will keep it this way.

I choose a round table, and rounded corners mirrors in order to connect these pieces with the other round shapes existent in here - the decorative mirrors, the chairs, the plants' pots, the ceiling arch (you can see it above the plants).
All these round shapes are graceful and they give the space a warm feeling.
