Love it, and love the warm paint color. I was wondering if you used a different camera to take the before pictures. Just wondering bc the after pictures just look so much richer and more crisp. Great job!

It seems to me you would want the TV on the angled wall, to minimize glare from all the windows and especially if you want to be able to see it while cooking.. So maybe if you don't need the storage, you could drywall over both, put the TV to the right of the fireplace and you'd have room for seating or display storage to the left of fireplace. I"m impressed with all the options in the renderings, but not a fan of just a single built in on either side.

You’re welcome. Maybe consider getting some motorized shades. Then all your son has to do is use a remote control. Or some other type of blinds/shades that would be user friendly, and not a tragedy if damaged. You can keep the drapes and just incorporate shades or blinds. He doesn’t have to touch the drapes. It would be a much better setup for you. You don’t want to put your sofa with back to windows - not good Feng Shui from Eastern Feng Shui perspective. That is not a comfortable placement and closes in the room. Sofa floating with back to entry is not good, either. If you do opt for that one, put a slim sofa table behind sofa to anchor it - as well as present a better view from back of sofa. Also, I wouldn’t recommend adding built-ins for storage/display, etc. It’s a small room, relatively speaking, and it seems best not to crowd it.

Thank YOU, C Rebekah, for letting us live through your remodel vicariously. I am thrilled with the this amazing transformation. You are creating such a wonderful backdrop for all of the things you will bring into this room to give it your personalities. I would have a hard time choosing the color for behind the shelves, as so many of the colors you’re drawn to would look beautiful. You may want to wait until your furniture and rug are in place to help you decide. Do you have any art that you know you will be using? That might be helpful, too. I’m glad you will be putting in a darker brown floor. I think it is timeless.
