anyone?

I'd maybe plan on using the sectional in another space but I'd need to see a simple floor plan of the house to know. One thing I would not ever do is put a TV in front of a window.

Good idea to add doors to converted garage and use it as an office/play room.

If you use the sectional in the original living rm., can you remove the middle seat area to make it shorter? Then put it in front of the living rm window and your t.v. and console opposite on wall next to pantry bump out. There will be more walking room to office/playrm. Unfortunate your sectional ends can't be reversed for this reason.

Or keep current sectional in office and put new furniture in original living area that will fit the space, such as a shorter sofa under the window and two chairs. Or shorter sofa to make an entrance corridor along front door area and chairs in front of window. Add taller bookcase to bump out area and another chair angled along back of kitchen wall next to t.v. console.

I will try to retake better photos tonight if the lighting will cooperate. I wish we could take out a section of the sectional but we cannot. Even the cushions don't come off. Our budget is on the tighter side so I was trying to make due with what we had.

I do like the idea of a more formal space when you first walk in, then having the living room in the converted room, but i don't want anything to feel like a waste of space, since we dont have a basement or extra room anywhere.

Cozy Den/Office + Large Entry Way because both rooms are too small to be a traditional living room. For the den, put an ottoman instead of coffee table, mount television, speakers, movie screen to the wall, catch all basket for things like remote, slippers, blankets and pillows. For the entry way room, create a space for the dogs. They like laying under large tables and bare floors during warmer months and on a large pillow during colder months. Add a large basket for dog blanket and toys. Keep stuff out of reach from dogs and children like leashes. Then can go in a locked console or something near the entrance. The playroom should be separate because nobody likes cleaning up the massive mess kids make. You can just shut the door.

I like an idea of creating entryway if you do not have it by placing furniture certain way.

Here is an inspiration
