We just moved into a new house and my mother moved with us. She is going to use the formal living room as her sitting area. She has a couple of large pieces she would like to have in the room. One of them is an antique mail carriers table. It's 6 feet wide. She also has a hutch/armoire that holds her sewing. There isn't a cable outlet and we couldn't get one easily installed. The room is a bit odd shaped and we don't know how to set it up. She wants new furniture but doesn't know what and needs more lighting. No overhead light in the room. The front wall has a large window (12 feet 9 inch wall with 6 feet 3 inch window). Side wall is 14 feet 3 inches and the wall across from the window is 7 feet and then there is an angled wall/stairs. We want the room to be nice as its the first room you see when you come in the door but also functional for her. Last thing, she is on the shorter side and doesn't like tall or deep furniture.

Thank you for any and all ideas. We have been here about 8 weeks and I am ready to feel settled.
