Zealart, here are a few more pictures and now with the new couch. I moved the recliners even further back. Partially behind them is a covered indoor planter with wooden column like poles. What do you think about lighting? There is no lighting in the ceiling in this room. We have all these little lamps, but the way I even got enough light for the picture was by turning on the kitchen light. I'm thinking a floor lamp in the corner where there is one already. It's a cloth lantern(currently), but the colors are floral and clashing with the curtain. So I'd like a japanese style one. Then take out the little one on the little table next to the couch.

tamara, even craigs list is offering free consoles and entertainment centers. i would get a straight one so you can put flat on the blue wall. then put second couch (Black?) to the right of brown(?) puffy couch.

i believe what the dogs did is called photo bombing? i think they take lessons, yours do seem to have risen to the top of the class though. we love seeing them.

Would you be opposed to maybe different curtains? definitely to the floor and they are the only blue thing i see? tables for next to couch, maybe an ottoman for the black couch? rug or pillows to draw together?

no you need to add better lighting. for now grab whatever you can get so we can see better.

I will take better pics in daylight tomorrow. The curtains do go to the floor but I fashioned them at the top because of one of my dogs :x . If I did get a center console would I need to move the recliner over? I just really want to keep an open space as much as possible. I'll probably add a bookcase later on for books etc. Our dining area has wood paneling, a fireplace and built-ins. Which I find amusing because our house is more ranch style. Any suggestions on a floor lamp? For a console, I would love a credenza but my husband probably won't go for it lol.

sorry, did not know they went all the way down. even though you may not be buying right now, do keep checking places like craigs list. many people are getting rid of such things now for some reason. even seen some for free.

Craigslist is pretty non-existent here. But would love some suggestions for center consoles and floor lamps.

@Tamara With that awesome seater, a console from Room and Board would look really nice. They have a lot of nice ones, and at their prices, pick one that you really like. ( from the picture it looks like 72" in length would be a good size, not smaller). We have the Linear cabinet from them, and I'm happy with it.

On the low cost, Ikea has added new tv storage solutions over the years.

I would suggest a cabinet that has some closed and open storage. To hide the DVD's, but some open for the electrical items that use a signal from a remote.

I am sorry but I do not think your curtains do your room justice. I read why you have them that way.....do you have any sort of blinds on the window? Might be that would be the way to go until your dog decides the curtains are not his toy. Also if you like the color....matches your wall....then how about using your curtains as a scarf over the top of your rod or just a valance (which I do not like) which would solve your problem.

are the recliners black too? May i see a better pic of the curtains? would like to tie all together somehow.
