I read your post and looked at your pictures. My thought was: "What a comfortable home - I could move right in!" So what really bugs you about it? I agree with removing the clock. You could mount the tv on the wall, (hiding the cords?) but is it really worth it? Same with bar stools. I would use them, but if you're sure you never would, why buy them? If you decide to get 2 anyway, choose a style that fits neatly under the island overhang - perhaps a "saddle" style? Wall art? Your wonderful windows are wall art! And... you have a lovely glass case for displaying art objects that you can change out on your whim. Golden oak furniture. I live in a house filled with golden oak furniture my parents accumulated during the 1980's. And golden oak kitchen cabinets they chose when they built a house in 1991. It wasn't until I started reading Gardenweb forums in 2010, I learned that golden oak was "out" and "orange-y". Up till then, I simply thought of all these pieces as "wood". And wood that went well with other (inherited) pieces in the house that date back to the 1920's- 1940's. Trendy or not - it works in MY house. If you truly dislike golden oak, why not sell it and buy what you would like used? Might be more cost effective than buying paint, or hiring someone to professionally paint your furniture. Especially if you might not be pleased with the finished results. Again, I suggest you ask yourself...what REALLY bugs you about your home?

It seems as if there is a blank smaller wall to the right of the TV. Move the TV there (lower it too), get a console table (25-50% longer than TV) and move the couch so it faces it. That way when people sit on it and you're in the kitchen their backs won't be to you.

Hi all- here is my room with measurements as requested. I tried using the online floor planner, however I had a hard time, so I decided to draw it out. In answer to some questions, we are an active retired couple with two little non-shedding dogs (hence no area rug until they are potty trained :) We have 3 grandchildren under the age of 8 that I watch twice a week. The credenza does fit in that space and in fact looks pretty good, although I am thinking I may paint it so there is a contrast against the wall. We do not need to keep either of the chairs that are in the photo. I would like a coffee table of some sort. I am a little tired of all of the white washed looks, so I don't know what I would get. This room is definitely a TV room as we have no other room for our television. It would be nice to have both couches in view of the television. The 3 windows in the picture overlook an enclosed porch that the previous owners added on. The opening to the kitchen definitely needs to stay open due to traffic pattern. I want this room to be welcoming and comfortable, yet stylish. I ordered this couches and the color is not what I really wanted, I though it was more of a grey, however it's very odd shade of green. It's called Seamist. It's hard to find pillows to match. When I brought the material to the store to match pillows etc, the color didn't seem to go with anything. On the far end of the room across from the three windows is open to the hallway, front foyer. Who in their right mind, would build a room as awkward as this??? It's just not practical, just like my two new couches aren't practical. I might run away.....just kidding... Thank you everyone......

I’m still working on my room! I took a break for a while because I couldn’t find anything I liked. I did find this plant shelving thing that I like. My question is? Does it look ok with my picture or should I find something similar to put there? I just put some plants I have up there for now. I like the black one. I’m just thinking it’s not matching. Thanks in advance ☺️
