I'd put the treadmill right alongside the window with the front of it facing the tiled wall. Then I'd lower the desk to its lowest position, and I'd install a rod holder on each wall, then make a curtain which can be put on a rod, which then sits in the rod holders, drawing the curtain across the area, hiding the treadmill behind it but leaving enough window there for viewing and the lights, etc. This would also give you extra wall space, i.e.: the curtain, for when you have guests, for extra seating or a table. Rather than move a treadmill ever time you have guests, just take the rod with the curtain on it out of a closet and put it up. You also, with this arrangement, have to know how the light streams into that area since you don't want glare hitting the computer screen while you're on the treadmill.

Thanks to all who have commented so far. More ideas are welcome too. amity, thank you for your comments. I am so glad you like my try at decorating this room. This room has been a little mini-brainstorming project on my part. littledog, thanks for taking the time to critique. I have lots of photographs I can utilize as art and have done so in other parts of our home, so I may consider that in this room as well. As for the cane chair, I wanted something else in the room besides modern - to break up the stiffness of the modern style - I am working at how to accomplish that in this room. Actually my chair is very pale blue, but I think I need to darken it a bit for the room. Several folks have mentioned a shade of some type - and I might just try that in this room (Every time I mention something to DH about what our decorating needs, I can see his eyes saying isn't the room done yet, i.e. you have to buy more stuff?). I have another floral arrangement - I'll repost when I get the smaller art pieces framed or other pieces of art. There really is nothing that serves as a focal point in this room other than the view or the art on the walls. This room is more of a conversation or formal sitting area. Our home has a great room adjacent the living room. The great room has a fireplace, sofa, TV, bookcase, a dining table, and a kitchen with a peninsula with bar stools - all of which are open to one another in one big room - so we pretty much live in that room, but happen to have this living room too. I am having the most fun decorating the living room though. meltnaz, my room does have a pinkish tone - it is my standard color for homes till I decide what to paint. I have had a fear of color in the past and am learning to bring that into my home. I actually used color in my two bathrooms with pretty good results - those two will be posted soon. I am having a hard time picturing the chargers on the wall - but I am thinking I might be able to utilize them - perhaps only two - somewhere in the room. I think sometimes art should be three dimensional rather than one dimensional and the chargers would accomplish that. The artwork is supposed to be centered above the loveseat, but I had moved the end table to the other side and when I did that I had to move the loveseat down which threw it all off - but I will definitely center whatever ends up going above the loveseat. les917, thank you so much for taking the time to look at my living room in detail. I have been reading your suggestions on other threads and I really admire your expertise. You always have such great suggestions. I showed DH the drapes you had orginally suggested and I think they would be better in this room, but he said - why do they have two different colors? Also I was afraid the blue color would have been too dark for what I was wanting - but now I am seeing that shades of the same color are sometimes better - I am learning as I go along. I love the lamp you picked out - I actually saw something similar at Pier I recently and liked it. I am now thinking along the same lines as you that the white shaded lamp isn't correct in the space. Now that you mention it I see what you mean about the floral, I will post the other one in the space tomorrow and if not a go, I will try to adjust this one. Thank you so much for your idea about mounting the large art piece on plywood with a darker frame - that is a great idea and would improve its stance on that wall tremendously. I almost put those boxes under the sofa table - but wanted something by the chair too. I have been looking for something round but not sure quite what style to put there - most round tables are either gate leg with splayed legs that don't seem right or a ultra modern boxey looking side table that isn't what I want either. I actually thought about stringing some of those lights on the manzanita branch - not familiar with the rice lights you mentioned, but I will research them - I like the idea of them being very small. The ceramic vase has holes in the bottom to string the cord up through. I was going to put sand in the vase to increase the weight to hold up the manzanita rather than plaster - so I can change it later if I want - I will just tape the holes off so the sand doesn't spill out. I had planned on placing black stones or moss on the top as you have suggested, once I am sure I am finished with the arrangement. I will definitely edit out some of the items in the room. I am seeing that sometimes less is more. Again thank you so much for your suggestions. Thanks to everyone for your kind words and suggestions. Believe it or not I had several other renditions before I posted this one. The curtains were supposed to be the blue ones shown in my daybed room posting (but they were too short for a sunken room - boo hoo). The light chair was originally on the other side. I also had five large reddish brown bamboo poles in the vase - but their lines were too hard and stark for the space so I substituted the manzanita branch. I will post rearrangements and adjustments later. I might not get to it till after the weekend, because I have a tour tomorrow and a party here on Saturday, so I have much to prepare for both. But I will post soon with some more photos. Thanks again to all.

I missed this too. Sorry, but here goes trying to post multiple pictures.http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z101/mad_about_mickey_album/?action=view&current=P1010096.jpg http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z101/mad_about_mickey_album/?action=view&current=P1010089.jpg http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z101/mad_about_mickey_album/?action=view&current=P1010090.jpg http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z101/mad_about_mickey_album/?action=view&current=P1010092.jpg This was me standing in center of room and snapping shots. hope these post.

Is there a den in this home or only this living area? If you have another room for TV, this man cave style furniture would do better there. If this is to be the only TV room, will the recliners clear the wall if they're any closer to them? If you decide to swap these for new seating I would put a 3-seat sofa on the long wall opposite the windows. Add a pair of chairs and coffee table in a group with it. Put the TV on the wall right of the FP on a credenza 25% wider than the TV. On the wall where your lamp is place a tall piece of casegoods to visually counterbalance the FP. Swivel chairs will easily turn to watch TV or converse with sofa sitters. A large rug that anchors all the seating will tie things together. you can add a bench in the window recess.
