You may be able to use it against the wall as an end table (or somewhere else in the house?) Replace it with a modern sofa table that extends the whole length of the back behind the love seat. The chest behind the love seat looks a bit short.
Lowes has some clean lined ones for about $10 a piece. I found that pendant light replacement glass globes fits vanity lights and ceiling fans. Make your ceiling fan light less traditional by either replacing it, removing the lighting from it (if possible) or if you need the light source,replace the globes with modern ones. has nice artwork (and many other items you could use). Find something that works with the rug and pillows. Replace the fireplace mirror with a contemporary one (no wood tones) and your picture over the sofa with a modern piece of artwork. For example: traditional candlesticks with a smooth colored glass object or modern sculpture. Mix your traditional accessories with some contemporary pieces. It looks like you group things well together and play with various heights when accessorizing. Make the style contemporary and modern but not traditional. Large square at least 40" (or more) would look great, not take up a lot of visual space and would allow you to see the new rug from underneath. The coffee table should be replaced with an all glass table or a glass top with metal frame. I would opt to use two different style side tables. Local glass companies can cut pieces of round mirror that you may be able to use as a table top on what you already have. Replace or paint your side tables to make them look updated. Keep your wall paint neutral and fresh and use color in your accents.
Get a nice throw and lay it stylishly over your leather ottoman. Replace all the traditional pillows with modern pillows that picks up the color(s) in the new rug. Pick something that has a modern contemporary look with whatever colors you like. Invest in a much larger area rug that would reach to all the pieces of furniture.
Mixing traditional items with modern is such a great way to decorate because modern cleans up the traditional and traditional softens the modern.With that said. I may be too late for a comment but here's my 2 cents and my decorating philosophy. But I just wanted to share what I've found with the forum in case anyone else has already tried it. So, I'm going to test this out and report back. And the solvent for limestone is.bleach? I'm not so sure about the second one, but I trust the first one. What I wondered was, what about a solvent-based option? But what would dissolve old hardened glazing? Turns out, old hardened glazing is basically dry linseed oil and lime that has more or less turned back into limestone (OK I'm hedging there, but that's my best info.) Apparently the solvent for dry linseed oil is.linseed oil. Steam and heat softening (John Leeke's video, he claims 4% breakage) Looking around at options, I've seen physical and heat-based options: The single hardest thing was getting the old glazing out. I told dh, the glazing was easy, it's the prep that was killer. I used oil-based primer and Dap 33, and it went reasonably well. So after all the reading and thinking and hemming and hawing (yes I've over-analyzed yet another project!), I re-glazed my first window.
