Next home decor project...

As most of you know, I love home decorating! It seems to run in our family:). The next project that I want to embark on is really easy but I think it will make a big impact. I love the balance of these inspiration pics below and I want to replicate this in my dining room. I don't want to replicate the exact style necessarily but more of the balance of an accent table with 2 lamps and a vertical mirror. It's so symmetrical and simple but I love the look for some reason.

For my accent table, I have an antique drop-leaf table from my grandmother. I couldn't find an exact picture of it but I found this one online and it is very similar. Our table actually has 2 drawers in the front with glass knobs and is more of a mahogany finish. I already have a rectangular mirror that is very plain in an antique bronze color (similar picture below). So, hopefully this will all come together!
The missing pieces will be some neat lamps. I'm on the prowl...I'm thinking glass bases with linen or burlap shades. I definitely think I can find them at TJ Maxx HomeGoods.

Something like this...
I'll have to post a pic of the final product once I get it all together...it shouldn't take long but sometimes these things move quicker in my head and in actual life:).
