sounds fantastic! Do you have some pictures you can post?

I will take pics

I understand the love/hate thing. Is the TV mounted on the short wall to the right of the balcony windows? Is it on an articulating mount? Will you be wanting a formal dining table & chairs or could you get by w/ a long counter & stools?

I could visualize two smallish accent chairs on either side of the column set slighlty into the room from it. A sofa could be angled toward the TV about eight feet from it into the center of the room. You could buy a Danish modern dining table to place against the back of the sofa. One that can be opened up with side leaves for a group. You could place a dining chair at each end of the table. Add three candlesticks to the center of the table and a floor lamp to the left side of the sofa. The other dining chairs can be put in the bedrooms for use.

I would go with a monochromatic light color scheme to enlarge the area, however this is personal. Add large art on the bigger walls & a couple of plants. You can buy an adequate sized area rug to allow the feet of the sofa & perhaps the two accent chairs to fit on. I would add light weight drapes hung from clips to obscure the sight from outside into the rooms, but can be opened when wanted.

OH MY GOSH! I want to move in! HAHA! Okay, what is your style? Industrial, Modern, Contemporary? If this means nothing to you, then what stores do you like to shop at? I like that gray color next to the tv!

And do you have a particular budget?

Please do not do grey......so overdone

Did you like anything I suggested?

I loved all the suggestions Sandra! Especially the Danish you suggested. Never seen on before

My style is mostly clutter free modern / industrial but I love vintage pieces too

Susan wow!!!!

Thank you :>) I threw a little color in with chair, if you get 2 they don't have to be the same. Mix it up a little.

Here's an idea for a neat floor lamp not over the top, but a good blend with furniture.
