Need help filling empty wall space around TV etc!
Comments (23)Well, I was going to suggest the ubiquitous fiddle leaf fern, but looks like you have a cat, and they are toxic to cats. You might Google plants that are non-toxic to cats and see if anything grabs your interest. I think some palms may be ok with cats (and they can grow fairly large), or you might look for a contemporary plant stand and just sit a smaller plant on it -- maybe a giant tropical bromeliad or something along those lines. That said, if your cat is prone to pester plants, it's probably not a good idea to include one in your décor. (Definitely don't put a fake plant in this pretty space.)...See MoreEmpty Great Room: Furniture Layout Inspiration Needed!
Comments (9)Youv'e got such a beautiful new space! You need to provide dimensions for any advice to be realistic. Everyone has opinions and you need to find what's right for you! When I work with a client, we work through storage needs (small kids' toys? blankets?) furniture layout and selection based on size and dimensions, not just style. a Sofa can be 78" wide all the way to 108",.... that is a huge difference! If you would like complementary (with purchase) design services, let me know and we can create your dream living space with Ethan Allen! The process is fun, precise, and you don't have to wonder if you made the right choice....See MoreFurniture layout in loft/upstairs family room
Comments (16)Janette I would get what you and your DH will be the most comfortable on. If you get the sofa with a chaise on each end you still can do the two swivel chairs in the room for additional seating when you have the kids over. also if you do an upholstered coffee table / ottoman the grands can lounge on that too.

Comments (27)Agree with lynartist get someone knowledgeable in to look at the walls. Shifting the color used makes a huge difference. I would not have the walls smoothed or made shiny. But there are all sorts of ways to approach this and end up with a great looking home. Consider moving the functions of the two spaces. A modern dining area with a fireplace, even such an ornate one, could be spectacular and marry well with a more intimate USED space for conversations, drinks, and even just solo book readin'! Making the switch would also de-emphasize the fireplace and allow it to look its very best. A bit of a paradox but look at many old European houses and you'll see it again and again. My other preference would be to have a wood refinisher take down the shine on the floor. Congratulations and I hope you let us know how this progresses....See Morejaynes123
