Need help laying out my home office. The office is off of the foyer so we would like for it to look nice. It also is viewed from the dining room so at the table chairs are staring in. Please excuse the mess in the pictures we are in the process of moving in/paining. The office will be painted tomorrow.

I would like to know how this office should be laid out. I'm open to using existing furniture getting new furniture, adding furniture/rugs, please advise on layout and ideas for any of it. The furniture in the picture all have sentimental value but don't necessary go with the style through out the house. HELP!!

I've thought of refinishing the desk where the monitor is sitting to be a painted/lighter piece and removing the tall desk. I've also considered adding chair(s) by the Windows with a rug.. I'm open to any ideas/lay outs.

Thanks.
