Too small dining room for special occasions....
Comments (2)I used the living room. I pushed the couch against a wall, took all the tables and chairs and scattered them around the house, and put two eight-foot-long banquet tables in the empty space. Around here, Thanksgiving Dinner cannot be eaten outdoors most years! The big TV armoire stayed in the LR, so football fans could keep an eye on the games. In the dining "L", I would put most of the drinks and other odds and ends on the dining table, pushed into a corner. We always had lots of crock-pots going because we had the regular dishes and the vegan versions (no butter, no broth, no cream, no meat, no poultry). Luckily, DH and his sister (the usual vegetarian guests) would eat an UnTurkey, so I did not need to make another main dish, DH just put it in the oven after the turkey came out for carving. I think the most we had for dinner was 17. If it were 12 or so, we would put the two banquet tables together side-by-side and have a large center space for the food....See MoreFinishing dining room: these picture are too small but....
Comments (21)Your room is beautiful. Nature themed photographic art is a very good choice to make the room less "sterile". Regarding the framing, IMO, the single vertical frame with 2 photos looks too wide for the space (cramped on the right side). Hanging 2 separate frames vertically looks too narrow for the space a't nd hanging them horizontally side by side is like putting a panorama or a wall that needs more something taller to look right on the wall. Artwork above the buffet is definitely too low, doesn't seem a good match with the room or the other images. The right art and good track lighting on it would make the room. Photographic art is my area of expertise, so my suggestion(s) are: 1. A single vertical frame for the 2 prints that is a few inches narrower; or 2. Consider hanging the 2 frames one above the other but offset - to give more vertical presence as well as more width - that will fill the space better; or 3. Hang these 2 somewhere else and get 1 image about 3x the size of these and frame it to look proportionally right on this wall; or 4.Get 2 more prints and do a grouping of 4 framed prints....See MoreChandelier sizing too small? 100”w dining table
Comments (8)so its all preference. personally i think it is fine but i also put a circlular chandeler above my rectange table (gasp). But I love it. the best way to figure out if it will bug you is to use painters tape on the top of your table. if it looks too small to you there, it will look too small hanging....See MoreNew house.

Comments (26)Hi. No reason you cannot create a to scale floor plan now. Any decision in the living room needs to be done in conjunction with the new plan for the porch. (where door openings are positioned are important). 2 love seats are not functional. They are not facing the tv and adults that are not a couple don't like sitting in them. The best arrangement is always a sofa and 2 chairs. Having said that, if, for some reason you love having a chaise, then the argument could be made for that. I recommend a removable chaise for future flexibility. If you really don't have guests or it is seldom, you could use only the sofa in the room and bring in extra chairs for when guests visit....See MoreCorinne Masterson
