Reply to: I have something like this, instead of a pantry cabinet and love it. The upper wall cabinet goes to the countertop, and the base cabinet is drawers.

Reply to: is that your tv or a computer monitor? It's too small if you want to use it there for a tv. but if you must, then arrange it like this w/something else to even out the wall space Or, try doing something like this under the little windows. notice the larger tv you want a longer console (a new 55" tv can be had for $400. If you're making the tv part of the design, you really need something larger. and to actually view!) utilize that wall (w/the small windows) for the console area w/the tv something else you could do for that wall. you can have your chairs like that, and have your sofa facing the tv, like this or, arrange the sofa and chairs like this similar set up, but the smaller windows are a bit larger. I like the tv in the middle w/a longer console. consider painting the inside of your windows the same as your wall color. you may want to trim out those windows as well.

Reply to: Wait until your sofa arrives to buy anything else. I like your chest, and think it would have been fine to keep it under the tv, but I'm sure it looks great over in the entry area as well. Once you have the sofa, look for a rectangular coffee table. I would float the sofa facing the tv, and use the two chairs next to the window, or one on each side of the sofa, facing in. Look for a rug size that fits in front of your new tv console, all the way under your sofa. You'll want at least one floor lamp and one table lamp in the room. You can use a low console under the tv, or you might consider building in shelves around your tv so you get some closed and open storage in the space. It would also give the room more of a focal point.

Reply to: Step 1: Paint the mantel and all the shelves to match your crown molding. Then get back to us.

Reply to: Chairs have arrived. I really like them. Here’s a bunch of pics and in the last two I photoshopped in some end chairs...what do you all think of the fully upholstered ones for the ends?? Yea or nay?
