I want to move the table alongside the built-in with just the chairs on the open room side. This leaves some open space on one half of the room that I don't know what to do with. The room is open to the front entry hall on one side and the main hallway on the other, so I am dealing with two empty corners. We do tend to 'take the shortcut' thru this room to get to back of house and the kitchen from the front door, so, traffic flow is a concern.
