I think the cabinet is fine...still thinking it's better between the windows, but I'll let that suggestion go.

You're doing what you can with what you have and that's tons better than getting into debt or racking up cc bills. Don't forget that you can also repurpose all sorts of furnishings from elsewhere in your house. I've seen dressers turned into fabulous media cabinets...night stands as end tables...legs shortened on table to make coffee tables...It just takes some imagination.

I like the plants in the corner...

I agree with pennydesign. Btw, the IKEA ones are a pair of panels.

I found my plain blackout panels (Eclipse signature brand, in Neutral) for my house at Walmart a few years back and ordered some for my living room and master. They look like they cost much more than I paid.

Here are some blackout ones to look at, found on Houzz. I was looking for the best price on neutral.

Gosh it's all coming along so nice! I love how you were able to pull that color from the rug for the vases and pillows and I like the color of the curtains! Bravo on getting so much put together already, looking good!!

Devon, you've come a long way and the room is now cozy and welcoming. I have a couple more tiny suggestions that cost almost nothing. Lower the clock, and group and lower the art over the loveseat as I show below.

When you get around to redoing your curtain rods, raise them and hang your curtains with these:

Clip Rings, Fits Rods 3/4" Diameter, Essential Antique Brass, Set of 12 · More Info

Once the TV is on the new wall ledge, you will have your coffee table back. Walmart sells those rings, too.

What does your family think of the new look?

That's the word I was going to use - from the beginning of the thread to now your room has become cozier.

Girl, don't you ever get tired? Come and do my house... :)

Looks great so far. Trust us on the ring clips (you won't be able to raise the rods, though but that's great as I detest that high drapery rod look, lol!)

Awesome. Just a little bit more tweaking with the wall hangings and it will all look very well put together, those suggested clip rings are a great idea for the curtains, I can't wait to see it, progress is always nice!

If you do add rings with clips to your curtains make sure you get wood to match your drapery rod..metal will not look right:(

do you keep your curtains closed like that all the time?

I would add some blinds instead and have the curtains stationary on each side...shades at the local hardware store are very inexpensive...

sorry about the drapes at $39 but thought 2 panels for that price are really good....

40”x64” have any size you need.

I'm so impressed with all you've done in such a short time and, yes, you are a super star!!!! You must feel so good when you walk in the room now. The rug looks fine now.

Curious why you didn’t use the media cabinet you already have with the plants on it?

How about if you use your Ikea Lack tables as a coffee table? I think the fit will be better for your space.

And, for fun, Google images "Lack table hack" to see the amazing things that people have done to customize them!

pennydesign The TV was on the Lack coffee table. (See it to the left of the last picture.) The new media wall shelf frees that up to be used.

And do you sew? Or does mom? I suggest you take your old drapes (unless they're being used elsewhere) and make some fun floor pillows for the kids....you can make them to fit perfectly under any table for storage.

I'm all about re-purposing...

groveraxle Could you arrange the TV wall art, maybe adding the white boxes, letter, piece from over the door from the walls near the dining room?

Thanks, t I didn't see that..

Then absolutely let's get these babies customized!!

Agree that grouping the art will have more impact...What else do you have around the house Devon? Do you want to gather it all in one place and let us take a peek?

You are doing fantastic! Amazing considering you weren't even feeling well when you got started. Don't buy anything else. Shop your house for more ocean related art, etc that can be added to that big wall. Take a photo straight on and I'm sure groveraxel will come soon to play. (So much easier than making a bunch of holes.)

Devon LOVE, LOVE LOVE!!

Well that media cabinet looks wonderful! Are you still going to use the floating one? I would save the money and send it back.

one suggestion...I would gather all your wall art and do a collage and only do uneven numbers of art in one spot...so I would move your this is the life sign to over the two art pieces to the right of TV and move the two closer together should be more than 3” apart.

this room is so nice I would just remove that anchor...it just is not pretty enough for this room:)) no need for it

your clock need to be moved down middle should be at 62” from floor:)

the room looks so nice!

Thought you would enjoying seeing the transformation side by side...you have had some great helpers here on Houzz!

The other 2 plants in the bluish pots (not the big green plant) put them on the table under the tv. You already have the pillows on that side of the room and they are such a pretty colour they would look great on that wall as well. I would like to look at that colour all the time.

Do you have any other rooms we can play with? Devon, you have been so gracious and so much fun, thank-you.

This Houzz community is truly wonderful. Such generous and enthusiastic souls. Happy to be a part of it!

I'm sorry. The TV is too high, whichever console you use. I had to guess at the length of the new one, but I might do something like this:

Yes...switch it to the window side :)

Alternatively, you could do something like this behind the tv. Google "tv accent wall"

Larger wall art simple dark frames with photo copy art you like..so budget friendly!

Etsy.com...three of these would be great!

Remember these? :-) You need the floating shelves to fill some of the space if you stay on that wall.

More shelves just needs more stuff...this room needs less small stuff and some nice large wall art..I would rather see empty walls rather than a bunch of small items...something to think about.

After looking at the room closely...I would suggest flipping the room like this..and yes you would need the cable company to come out and add cable on other side between the windows...hang your big wall clock above the sofa with all your other art into a big wall art collage....

I may have suggested that three or four times, hiwe....I would say it's a no-go... :)

You've made a lot of nice changes. I agree more shelves need more things so I would probably stay away from that and head toward the direction of large art.

I do think the room would look even nicer flipped as shown in the floor plan.

Sorry tried skimming over suggestions...just kept looking at the room And that wall is so big it needs large furniture in front of it to break it up and that way all the art and wall clock will fill the wall over the sofa...just makes more since...costs nothing and I think will be much better layout...and you want cozy this will do it!

DEVON please consider this new layout...I know it is hard moving things around but this is the winner! Your tv cabinet will be perfect size between the side windows...

:-) The family sounds like they have been very patient with the changes.

Maybe, patient...maybe not :(

I'm so sorry that you need to ask, Devon. And I'm sorry that the answer is a firm "no".

Enjoy your new space, though! Relax for a bit!

I like the setup recommendations but I think I would prefer it this way too because based on the entry spot I feel like you can enter the room and see the full setup instead of the TV becoming a focal point.

The room looks good now and is more functional than it was before. The only problem with the TV wall is that it's a little empty. But I'm guessing if you're looking at getting a new TV in a year, you'll be getting a larger one which will help to fill the wall. (Another reason for keep it on the current wall: a larger TV probably won't fit between the windows.) For now, I'd look at arranging all your art and maybe even your clock on the TV wall. The other walls behind the sofas can get away with being bare.

When it's time to replace the TV, come back here and ask for help BEFORE you hang it. Design the whole wall at once so everything looks intentional.

Yes the room has transformed for sure..well at least you have another option if you ever want to change it up! Looks great...enjoy:)
