help me with my fireplace empty space!
Comments (13)Thank you so much for your opinions. This room is right off the kitchen. The room to the right is a beautiful sun room we watch tv in there. The left room is a front room with toys for our young kids. I’d like this room to be a sitting area where I can have coffee with friends or if we have couples over we can spill over from the kitchen into this area to hang out. Thank you. I’ve thought maybe mirrors on both sides of the fireplace would look pretty but I can’t decorate so I’m lost. Thanks. Angela :)...See MoreEmpty space between living/kitchen
Comments (12)Seeing Beverly’s mock-up, that’d be such a great spot for crafts and projects, kids’ snacks, etc. Forget my idea, I like AC LB and Beverly’s idea. 😄 My sense of dimension was off and I didn’t think a table would fit. But Beverly’s mock-up made me see there is enough space....See MoreEmpty space between dining room/kitchen
Comments (12)If you have a garage or basement or mud room or even an attic that you use for storage -- or a children's bedroom, you can move your shelving there to use as storage if you truly dislike the shelving in this room. The two high chairs are noted, so, do make sure the shelving will not tip over wherever you place it. Or, if you prefer your table turned the original way and still have a large space in between kitchen and dining, you might consider using the shelving as a room divider. If you centered it, it would likely need to be attached to the floor and/or ceiling -- or to boards on each side that are attached to floor and ceiling -- to ensure it wouldn't fall over. Or, another option could be to put one side of the shelving unit against the wall, perhaps left of the pass thru left of where the high chairs are sitting or left of the patio door -- but if the height of it makes that a bad fit, then ... ... does the shelving side supports come apart -- as in, could you remove the back "x" brace and end up with a three shelf shelving unit (and a pair of extra shelves)? If so, if you add a back to the three shelves -- think wainscoting -- you might find it is a better visual fit as a room divider for your open space. If your shelving does come apart and you use only three shelves to create a room dividing bookcase, perhaps you could create a shorter bookcase or box shelf or pair of benches for the children with what is left. If you keep the bookcase whole, this article on "styling" a bookcase appears to include your specific bookcase. https://www.coasterfurniture.com/small-bookshelf...See MoreEmpty space in kitchen/breakfast room
Comments (7)Functional could be using the space for hanging pans, lids, strainers, ect. Arranged well. Murphy table art- when it's up it's art on the wall. But if you need extra table, you can murphy it down. A breakfront, hutch, buffet, and so on sort of furniture that can serve as storage, potential service space, and so on. If that curtain to the right is a door- would you like or have a need for a bench there to sit down to take on/off shoes or other outdoor things? Do you have pets that it could be a good area for feeding, or a cat tree, or dog bed?...See Moreamuzyczka
