Theresa, indeed it is. That particular little guy uses that particular branch of the camellia to crack open his sunflower seeds. He gets one from the nearby feeder, flies to this spot where he puts it against the limb between his two feet, and then he pecks until it gives up his daily meals. And goes back for another seed.

Neighbors I've had planked their vaulted ceiling and then continued the planks horizontally across the wall all the way down the two longest parallel vertical walls to the flooring with really light wood and same light finish for beams -- it looked great. They used the same light finish on the vertical paneling but vertically on the end window wall and same light finish for the window and door trim -- so NO very dark to very light contrast -- which made the end wall visually disappear and permitted the view to be the star. Another house with a vaulted ceiling (but less windows and not a great view) used a lot of light (walls) to dark (trim) contrast and the dark (trim) parts grabbed the visual attention. Prefer to let the view and furnishings/decor claim the attention.

Basically your living room is a long hallway, which makes furniture arrangement problematic. Have you considered switching the dining room and the tv room? Although the dining room on the plan is smaller, it is big enough for cozy tv viewing. Putting the dining table in the "hallway" room could possibly make a gracious entrance to the room at the back with the fireplace where I assume that you entertain guests. If that is not so, then maybe we can figure out how to place a TV in the great room..
