Do you ever use the FP? Is it real or gas/electric? Is the closet built in or free standing? Looks like it might do well in a mudroom/hall. What is inside the bulkhead over the windows? Why don't you move the mirror to the dining room and get a nice chandelier to be doubled by it? Your dining rug is too small. Needs to be 6' bigger than the table so the chairs don't fall off it when in use. BUT it shouldn't run into baseboards or furniture on the walls. Maybe do without it and soften with drapes instead. Can you take a pic standing in front of the TV?

@decoenthusiaste - Thanks for your response. The FP is real though we haven't used it yet. The closet is a built-in that we just added due to no real foyer or closet. The soffit above the windows is the support beam for the front of the house. The dining room is our next project, but right now need to figure out the living room. Here's a picture from the TV.

I prefer Beverly's first arrangement. If the black door is your front entry, it will seem less blocked up when guests arrive if they don't run into a table and the back of the sofa.

Thanks. We're considering a sectional. Thoughts on that?

This sectional is 103 x 103

Thanks. What's in the window area? Also, thoughts on swinging the sectional so the window area is open (or w/chairs?) and having one side across the dining room opening?

Your console is in the window area. I don't think you want to create that huge hurdle to your dining area with a sectional.

We have a similar layout. But we decided to make the fireplace in the center of the room. It was a good and practical solution. I really like having a fireplace in the house. It creates extra coziness and comfort. But you have to use best fireplace bellows for maximum efficiency. Because when it comes to making a fire, a fireplace bellows can make your life easier.

How did you make the fireplace in the center? ours was built in 1952 so changing wasn't cost effective.
