If the storage is being used and also enjoyed as a seat, I would leave it. Float your sofa in the room, perpendicular to the short wall between the kitchen door and that little nook. In the nook, create a little seating area. You could slide a desk into it if you enjoy sitting at a table to write or use your devices; add a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf and position a chair in front of it; run an 18" counter top along the back wall and add two swivel stools; tuck a daybed in there...With a great piece of art and some lighting from a table lamp, hanging pendant(s), or floor lamp it will be a cozy corner for one or two people :)

I moved some things around and I think I like it better. I know the rug is too small and it shouldn't be "floating" but I don't want a new one until we get the other changes done. I moved the dresser into the dining room and hung (probably too high but couldn't convince 6'3" hubby to lower it and he had a point about being out of reach of the tornado. haha) the sign and pictures that had been on the mantle in the dining room. We also took off the ridiculous trim board they had up because we will be replacing the slider soon. So many things in this house like that silliness. I organized most of the books and moved the bookshelf. And grabbed a few canvases (I know they are small but can't remember where we left my big one) I did the flower, my dad painted the one on the right in Vietnam in '68. We need to fix the coffee table my dad built that's in the garage, I'll put it in front of the sofa, it's a little under 6'long, so it might be technically too big but, again, it's what I have. How'd I do?

We need a floor plan with measurements and all fixed elements noted.
