lyfia - i followed your recommendation and that actually looks a lot better! and the pup loves her new window seat. i'll post some pictures this evening. i know there are a lot of different chair shapes but i really love all three, and i'd like to make all three work if possible. here are some examples of rooms i think pull together an eclectic look well.

Welcome to Kitchens. You'll need to upload a drawing of the floor plan, with all walls, windows, and doors labeled and measured. Include any architectural elements that can't be moved, and label all adjacent rooms. Drawn on a graph (one square~1' or 6") is better, but not necessary. If you don't have a drawing program, draw it on paper, take a pic, and upload. New to Kitchens? Read me first.

How about using something like this wireless device to have the TV on that wall without cables/outlets? https://techforluddites.com/wireless-cable-tv/ http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-to-Connect-Cable-to-a-TV-Wirelessly-/10000000205177691/g.html Also, from the pics it looks like that wet bar area is only 30 inches wide more or less. You would need to leave that much room between the chairs (or sofa) to the windows. That's why I said to ignore it. You and others wouldn't even see it with the doors closed and the furniture layout as shown. It would look natural. I'm sure other posters and also pros will stop in with their solutions. You have a beautiful place with which to work.

The stove is gas and we've never used it. I would love to tear out all the brickwork but the original chimney is walled off behind it so it would be a huge, expensive project if it's even structurally feasible. This house has a lot of projects and the main level is my priority so the wet bar will have to wait even though it would be great to have that done. Maybe I can find a slide to attach to the wet bar...they climb on it anyway...and then put the climber on the back deck if it will fit. My boys play outside a ton when we have snow, but 2/3 of the winter we have no snow and apparently it's not so much fun to play outside when it's cold, windy, and dry. We did have the room open for a playroom when we first moved in but then DH insisted on getting that sectional. I would have preferred just a couch and more open space. Maybe if I split the sectional up I can make the room more open again.
