Our house has an L shaped living room and kitchen. The first picture shows the view from the slider. The small walls with the two tables and the marked up pictures is actually our entryway hall closet. There's empty space open at both ends, and I've never liked how it looks. The second picture shows the opposite view from the love seat to the slider. How would you place furniture in the living room? If we flip the layout so the couch and the TV switch places, I feel like the couch will almost be in the kitchen and the end tables will look funny. The big open space in front of the slider is typically where a kitchen would go but our dog's pen is there now. My husband doesn't want a kitchen table. What suggestions do you have for furniture placement?
