I would probably rework the corner with the entertainment center and the desk, but I'd do something like this with two chairs in the seating area:

Any chance of losing the desk and repurposing the entertainment center to serve as a desk? A roll-out shelf behind the doors could hold a laptop or keyboard, or be used for writing checks (if people still do that), and shelves or cubbies added inside for envelopes, stamps, everything you now have in the secretary desk.

If the piano fits where the entertainment center is currently, it would look good there.

jeannethebeanie, what do you use the current piano room for? What joins it that is out of our view ... like the kitchen, dining room, etc.?

Are the chairs in the reading room identical? If they are not, could one of them move into the LR?

(FYI, I sound as if I have some great, grand plan. I don't! In fact, I need to pull away and work on some music for our church service tomorrow; but I would love to spend some time thinking about your home and, hopefully, might have a helpful option or two. You're actually in really good hands with groveraxle!)

I do have two thoughts that I will go ahead and throw out:

(1) I believe that your entertainment center is the least attractive piece you have in this space. If its only purpose is storage, you may choose to move it away -- either totally away or, possibly, into the "reading room." (If you choose to keep it in the LR, it would help to de-clutter the shelves with the glass doors, treating that area more as a curio cabinet. You might display some colorful, glass vases or figurines of sentimental value, )

(2) Though I love the picture, I believe your loveseat would be better served with a horizontal piece of art above it. (It needs to be about 2/3 as wide as the loveseat and should be hung 5-6 inches above it.) Your flying birds picture may be the appropriate size, but it will make the room very monochromatic. I hate for you to give up the color of the current art piece! :)

It will be a big job, but I think you will be exponentially happy with the results!

If you put the desk on the stair wall, do an art grouping on the wall where the entertainment center was, you'll have plenty of room for at least one chair, probably two.

I agree with Vicki that a landscape format picture over the loveseat would work better.

I think you had another thread on here where I suggested clearing off the top of the entertainment center. On this thread you had it cleared off & now you have it up for sale. Be careful as we might just clear out the whole house. Just kidding!!!! You are progressing in the right direction. I do think smaller pillows will look better on the sofas, since you brought them up.

Two of these will be about $500.00. Maybe just the two you have will work, huh?

Or these two:

Sorry, I may never leave your room.

I believe when you get rid of the entertainment center, there will be space for two chairs. There is definitely space enough for one. Please don't entertain the thought of slipper (armless) chairs, and I probably wouldn't do wood ones either. Something like Sandra's Mariana Fabric Club Chair--smallish and comfy--would be good.

This has been such a fun post to read. I love how the room has evolved for you! Looks great so far. Keep it up.

You might even add a spot of color. Both these chairs are from Target.

That chair looks super comfy, but your room would benefit from chairs with legs to offset the solidity of the sofas.

Jeanne, those chairs are a little meh. Keep looking; it'll turn up. Do you have a Home Goods? You have to haunt them, and when you see it, you have to get it then because if you turn around, it'll be gone. But returns are easy if it doesn't work.

Look for something with a bit of pizzazz.

If the entertainment center is definitely going, yes, buy two.

The white chair is OK, but a jazzy lumbar pillow would probably spice it up just enough. Do you have any chairs about the same size you could test in the room? Or take some painter's tape and tape the outline on the floor to see if they look too small.

Another option: go back to Target and get the off white chair to try. If the size is good, add a pillow with pizzazz. If not, you can return it. Returns at Target are super easy.

I would prefer the piano in the living room and the desk in the reading room, along with a nice bookcase. The two new chairs could snub in a the stairwell wall with a table and lamp plus the lumbar pillows. I think new pillows all the way around

Get those chairs out of the corners. Pull them up to here:

You did great choosing that pillow. Here are three more, all from Target.

Those would be OK on the chairs. I would make the rest of my pillows solid or very close to solid, then.
