Hi, there … can you show all sides of the room?

In the meantime, could it go on this wall for easier access?

Thanks for the feedback! There's an entrance to the kitchen next to the other wall and, unfortunately, it's not deep enough to fit a bookshelf (at least all of the one's I've found have been too deep for that wall - it's only 9" deep). Here's a more comprehensive view of the space:

The video is great! Very helpful. Such a charming house!

I’m just thinking that corner would be super tight for accessing the bookcase … is there any way you could move the sectional (and rug with it) over some? Just to open that corner up more?

As far as placement, I’d either find a corner unit or have it facing the sofa.

I can definitely shift the sectional over to the right a bit to open the space up a bit. I wonder if I could line up the left side of the couch with the window to open that space up even more so the kids have a place to play. Little homes are cozy but so hard!

I get it! We downsized and it’s been challenging.

Another idea — a long-ish (move the corner chair) console for the TV that has shelving and storage for books and such? Or would it stick out in the room too much?

I love that idea! I think I worry that it might feel too cluttered with another piece of furniture there, but it would be a great space to utilize if I could make it work. I think I'd need something about 60" wide and max 15" deep which is hard to find!

I would not use a bookshelf - instead, get a long, low cabinet to set under the tv. Make sure it is about 30% longer than your tv.

Have you looked on Wayfair? I've found quite a few pieces on that site.
