All of the crap is gone. Just couch dresser end table coffee table remain.

photos please

Please take several photos and post them in the comments so we can see what you are dealing with and hopefully offer some inspiration. Congrats on the new place!

Pictures would help generate specific ideas.

In general though, now that you have your lovely new nest, enjoy what it is for now and begin to look at interiors through the new lens you have- your new house.

Everyone approaches these things differently.

I begin with a fabric that inspires a color scheme and the best, basic pieces of furniture I can manage. In your case, you have the blue sofa. I would think it's time to think about a rug, throw pillows and curtains. Browse, browse, browse until you find many things that speak to you and then start to narrow down what works best with your constraints (space and money.)

Try posting the photos in a comment box, not in your OP. That works better sometimes.

Should I flip flop the couch and block the door in order to put a kitchen table at the wall along the kitchen or leave it as is and put a table along the opposite wall from the kitchen?

One day I envision knocking out the 3 feet of wall separating the kitchen in putting in a bar or island and also opening up the opposite wall on the other side of the room that is the stairwell and letting the light in.

Cori, congratulations on your new home. Three teenagers?!?! You have plenty of things to do without worrying about the “ perfect” plan for decor! Have fun with this-you have waited such a long time. Don’t rush. It sounds like you have some great ideas, but an eclectic mix. I like unusual and prefer to develop a style over time. I shop consignment stores for wonderful bargains. Thrift stores are great for mirrors and cheap lamps while you decide on nicer, more permanent furnishings. Round tables are conducive to good dinner table conversation and it’s easy to squeeze one or two more chairs around the table when your kids have a friend over. I have a big antique bench we use as a coffee table daily and press into service for extra seating when we have a party.

If you don't use that door you could move the sectional and put a tv on the opposite wall. But I don't see a tv.

I'm a bit confused by this...are you able to sketch out a floor plan?

Congrats on your new house!!! You'll be making it home soon, don't worry. I love the bright white walls. And blue for a couch. Great looking lamp and that white table is fab too. Settle in and figure out your pressing needs first (dining table?), make a list and just breathe. Live in your space for a bit. You'll figure out the direction you want to take it.

(I don't recommend closing off the door with the couch though. Safety risk.)

If you want to incorporate a dining table, you should include a sketch with dimensions of the space (as Penny indicated earlier). With dimensions you'll get table size recommendations that will fit, etc. Will there be a tv in this room?

I have a small space but I got great help here, so will you. Congrats on the new place.

I can second the idea of going to thrift stores, especially for stuff like lamps, dining tables and chairs, chests of drawers.Keep in mind, you can paint a thrift store piece if you like tbe shape. I ended up liking my thrift store pieces so much, I’ve never replaced them, but they were a temporary solution at the time. I painted them way back when, and here we are, 40 years later.

Congratulations on your new home. I think it would be great to switch the location of the sectional. You'll have a better view looking out the windows. One side towards the door and the other on the wall with the picture. Leave the large picture on that wall but maybe lower it since the couch will be under it. Leave a walkway behind sectional on the door side For fire safety reasons. don't block the front door even if you don't use it. With the couch in front of it, the door will come across more like a window. Even if your family doesn't use it, other people will come to your front door. It is amazing what deals you can get at thrift and second hand stores. Sometimes very good lightly used quality pieces. the thing that will help bring your room together is a rug. It will help define that space separately from a dining space.
