I moved some things around and I think I like it better. I know the rug is too small and it shouldn't be "floating" but I don't want a new one until we get the other changes done. I moved the dresser into the dining room and hung (probably too high but couldn't convince 6'3" hubby to lower it and he had a point about being out of reach of the tornado. haha) the sign and pictures that had been on the mantle in the dining room. We also took off the ridiculous trim board they had up because we will be replacing the slider soon. So many things in this house like that silliness. I organized most of the books and moved the bookshelf. And grabbed a few canvases (I know they are small but can't remember where we left my big one) I did the flower, my dad painted the one on the right in Vietnam in '68. We need to fix the coffee table my dad built that's in the garage, I'll put it in front of the sofa, it's a little under 6'long, so it might be technically too big but, again, it's what I have. How'd I do?

Well, you have two arrangement options with the two sofas and two chairs. You can switch them up with the seasons, tweaking your accessories, rug, drapes for a nice change between warm an cool times of the year. Be sure you don't oversize the pieces and make the room look crowded. Scale will be important; avoid big, puffy seating.

Did you actully check to see if those pillars are load bearing? What space in the middle ? IMO just do more furniture in one space or the other I would porbably do a longer dining table for sure since you will have the space This is pics of a space almost exactly like yours We did not have a TV but the space where the FP was could easily have handled one

TV? It looks like the opening at the top should be further left. That makes room for the TV there. L shaped seating. Shown in this concept: Sofa/loveseat, two poofs, round coffee table, end table (lamp not shown), TV on a console table, area rug, tall plant. I did not measure the pieces so adjust size and postion. This concept swaps in a recliner or easy chair/ottoman. The TV is further to the right. A bookcase or shelves would be nice somewhere. If there's no TV these would still work.
