So my wife and I recently purchased a home and we just finished doing the remodeling portion. we are starting to get the major furniture pieces in but we are having some issues with the space between the dining room and the living room. We have the standard L-Shaped living room/dining room combo common in raised ranch homes. I have no idea what to do there. originally I was thinking of doing a little sitting area with two chairs and a small table (balcony sized) and a bookshelf next to the window but I just dont know if thats going to work as well in person as it does in my head. What do you guys think?
