the floor will actually be dropped back down to match the rest of the house. the old home owner didn't correct the warping boards underneath. just floated a new floor on top.

I'm open to a new table.

just a record player

I think I have too much wall pieces? all can go expect for the willow painted on books as it is very sentimental but I am open to moving it.

she is a golden doodle lol over due for a groom (due to all that is going on lol crossing our fingers may 8th!)

I'll post pictures of styles. I want it to be more calm and inviting than warm and cozy. since the remodeled 3rd floor is the new TV room / hand out space.

I love the couch color but I am open. I do have in mind maybe a small couch or love seat with a couple of sitting chairs.

I think I want to get away from SO much grey.

flooring will be brown with hints of grey. something between these. I think I like transitional, or what is in style right now. if I had to buy a new house I'd go with a craftsman with the wood all clean and white!

I'd set up the space similar to how you currently have it. But, I'd pull the new sofa up to meet the large window and then 2 chairs across from the sofa.

Where the willow art is, I'd put your record player. (Showing you the idea, not the furniture you'd use). LP's could be displayed as below or vintage ones framed. You can buy specific frames for LP's.

Large piece of art over the record player area. Series of mirrors on dining area wall.

I think the dining furniture is a little busy for your style.

Hope this helps.

I’d treat the whole area as a single cohesive library-dining-sitting area. The library “study table” would be for dining (or games, etc). I’d create a four-chair + ottoman arrangement by the fireplace for listening to music/socializing.

Sorry - just realized the “fireplace” was a TV/console! Lol! Still, could create the club chair/ottoman concept in that area, sans fireplace.

after taking online test. I'm told my style is mod centry modern. lol I can say I love the more minimalist style. although not full minimalist. I just don't want a room to be too busy. I the idea of having the room flow together. I'd bust the wall into the kitchen but my master is behind the table, off the kitchen. not ready to lose a bedroom lol.

We have a record player room! I thought I was crazy, but now I’m hearing it’s a real thing. We love it. Cocktails in the record room.

we love music and want the tv out of site. besides when we have company the tv doesn't even come on. makes my space so cluttered. I'd love to see yours!

mid century modern is definitely not my style. I love Joanna gaines style although not so farm house.

what do you think about doing something really simple for curtains? I think having so many windows with full curtains it makes the space busy and closed in.

Yes.....you have the inspiration photos......one has no drapes. Or, use simple white drapes.

I would definitely paint the room a lighter color.

yea i was thinking definitely a lighter color!! :)

It’s our old furniture all collected in an unused back room that doubles as a guest room when needed. The sofa is a pullout and the coffee table holds pillows and a quilt. The room is on the sunset side of the house so it’s perfect for cocktail hour. We put it together in March. Right before lockdown.

talk about PERFECT timing!!! something about the crackling just gets me. lol

You could put a pretty record cabinet where your t.v. stand is now. Hang your beautiful will tree artwork above it since it would be a beautiful focal point. A sofa across from it and two chairs in front of the window. Consider a neutral sofa with two chairs in the color you love. Solid drapes at the windows. Are you planning to re-paint or do you want to keep the current color?

I'm not a fan of that style but I absolutely love that idea! of moving the willow artwork where the tv is and then having a table/record player. I keep reading its good to pull couch out from window.. what are your opinions of that?

I would repaint to something lighter that ties in the new furniture.

kinda loving this set up but on a smaller scale so my room still looks inviting and not crowded. either couch or love seat with 2 simple chairs.... what kinda of ding table would look good? we host my large family so would want it to have a leaf.

Glad you like the idea. There are lots of options out there. You could put the new sofa across from the windows with a sofa table behind it to give a visual separation from the dining room. Then a coffee table and two chairs with a small table between them in front of the windows.

If the pic above is the style you're going for, I think your current table would fit in well.

once the new floor is in and I have a blank pallet I think it will be less daunting. 🙄.. I hope!

Love the colors in your inspiration picture
