Help: Design my House Piece by Piece. Number 1 Project: Living Room

Hanna Katrina Arboleda

Hi All,

Im a silent reader here and I think its time to post and ask for help! We bought a house, and we are turning a year at this place on February. We’ve been using our old furnitures since and few

weeks from now, we will be getting our new couch and love seat. i have no ideas at all on how to design anything. i bought a snow white leather look couch, affordable and better than what we have. I thought white will be the safest way to go. If you will ask me how i wanted my living room to look like, uhm my heart melts every time i see rustic layouts but again, for now i think i will go for just what will make it look nicer- basics but pretty. i have attached some pictures on how it is now, please dont hate my living room.

Advice I need is whee to put the furniture what color i can use for my living room, that curtain is already new (i know it looks like its not) i have a big window and fireplace and an odd living room size. if you notice my house is so bare- no wall arts fireplace full of plants, i just have a clock on the wall (took me 4 months to decide on that)

A plastic Dobie scrubbing pad from the grocery Safe-n-Simple Finish with GARDZ per recommended spread rate, two coats if unsure you're a good enough painter to hit all the spots with 1 coat. Never use TSP. It requires flood rinsing - like only you can do outside. Typical water-based primers are all about PREPARING the surface so a new coat will stick OVER it. They are not about sealing in anything UNDER. In addition, water-based primer will reactivate glue residue. Think about how the glue was activated to stick in the first place? With water. A water based primer over the glue means you may as well not even bother priming. GARDZ does not reactivate remnants of residual glue rather it seals in any traces of residual glue. Safe-n-Simple and a plastic scrubby + elbow grease will get all that is possible to get off the walls leaving no damage behind. Did I mention you need to use GARDZ ? :) This post was edited by funcolors on Fri, Jan 31, 14 at 0:23

Thanks all again but after being in the space and testing out the layouts your offered, I really do prefer the TV in the corner so I'm trying to decide between one of these 2 corner TV stands: https://www.birchlane.com/living/pdp/pullman-corner-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-b001030194.html?piid%5B0%5D=1082005253 https://www.birchlane.com/living/pdp/birch-lane-heritage-benedetto-corner-tv-stand-for-tvs-up-to-65-b000771980.html Thoughts? Then I can put an upholstered storage bench underneath the big window and a console/desk behind sofa with chairs for extra seating. And I still want to get a chaise lounge or armchair with ottoman place counter the sofa (empty space in mock up below). *Mock up is not the right colors or styles but just picked based on size to help with figuring out layout

The table top in your inspiration pic caught my attention. It's not the usual furniture showroom table top. I really like this cedar "countertop" and was wondering if something like it might work as a table top or as a top of a rolling cart island that could work as kitchen prep space and/or guest dining if not as a table. http://www.devoswoodworking.com/designing-wood-countertops/wane-edges.html Legs could be bought separately. https://carolinalegco.com/products/x-metal-table-legs-set-of-2-modern-industrial-legs-custom-sizes-available?variant=32186224640097&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_term=&utm_campaign=DR_PLA_Smart_200%25&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=7051262680&hsa_cam=9915659242&hsa_grp=103137792649&hsa_ad=432122759881&hsa_src=u&hsa_tgt=pla-296303633664&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6p_wwNPU6gIVgbbICh0T8w-jEAsYAyABEgIkX_D_BwE

In my home, I placed rectangular canvas photo over my tv. It might be nice to have art or photo in the room. Koetsier: "While working as an x-ray professional, he continued his passion for black and white photography on the weekends while living in the Netherlands, France and eventually settling in California. This eventually prompted him to combine the two specialties creating some of the most amazing x-ray photographs using plants, flowers, shells and other inanimate objects." You can purchase the E-FILE FOR ANY IMAGE, AND HAVE IT PRINTED YOURSELF IN ANY SIZE YOU CHOOSE -- from this website: https://susanspiritusgallery.com/artist/albert-koetsier/
