Hi Natebear! I do have pics although the house isn't "done". Haven't hung any artwork yet. But here is a thread with the updated breakfast area: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/decor/msg041725521821.html Here are a couple more pics. Dining room - don't mind the wrinkled tablecloth - it is pressed now! Den Son's room Master dressing room Enjoy! One day when artwork is hung and furniture is arranged appropriately, I will do a long post with before/after pics.

No space here for a sectional. You might consider a reversible chaise sofa to get the look and to be able to switch the chaise portion from side to side for different arrangements. Really, a 3-seat sofa and two arm chairs would be a better choice.

Hello kwoodard , Unfortunately the, 'pro's,' don't like to give the farm away for free. With that being said, I can still try to give you some overall ideas to work with (with the disclaimer your photos are kinda distorted, making scale hard to judge.) Yes, you can do (2) seating areas. Starting from the entry, you could possibly use a console table and/or bench to drop your keys on or sit and take off your boots to put in the closet. Is that a stained glass window IN the closet? NICE! You could possibly remove that as well and put a storage bench under the window with an umbrella holder there... The console table would set up a small loveseat or a pair of lounge chairs facing into the space, from there the couch & coffee table, etc. At the end where the book shelve's are - maybe a couple of poufs/ottomans/ accent chair there to sit on read a book off the shelf... the big opening appears to separate the space, but again photos making it hard to see exactly where the fireplace ends.. You could lower the mantel, get a TV at the proper viewing height and use the space to the left across from entry door to hang a huge piece of statement art - wowing poeple as soon as they enter in the home. If you'd like to speak more specifically, I give every project a free 15 min. consultation - hit me up! Thanks, -frank

Congrats on the new place! If you can swing built ins with some cool lighting at the top and the shelving - thats my recommendation for the tv wall. If done right, it will be your best use of storage and is a stunner and will always get your money back if you plan on ever moving again. I would also recommend a new fan. I love your idea of getting some kind of window treatment - maybe do a fun but neutral pattern? Unless you're interested in adding a bit of bold - dark like a warm charcoal or deep brown - that might work with your ottoman. Is that staying? Stick with warm pallete to go with your existing stuff. Does the current furn layout work for you? I dont mind the style and sizes of what you have...but for sure a sectional would look better...as long as the flow works out...it seems like it should with your openings. Hope that helps!
