Need Ideas for empty space

What would you put in these two empty spaces? This is the sitting room area in our master bedroom. The space on the left was a kitchenette that we took out.

Empty wall/floor space - any ideas??
Comments (8)I'd say for furniture you'd want something that is solid on the bottom --like a chest rather than a bench. But maybe Lil S' idea about a plant on a round thing (IDK mat/base) ... On the other hand, does that silder get used for something? Like, if it went out to the pool and you needed to keep a key or something there maybe a functional wall piece ---mirror and keys --not explaining well....See MoreEmpty space need some ideas.
Comments (22)@Amanda M - I think it looks good - looks like plenty of space between drinks console & chair so you could move table back to short wall a little bit if you want. It looks like the table is back up against the long wall where it started - can you pull it out a bit? My thought is the hallway access isn’t a problem with the table in new location & the drinks console moved over - that whole walkway space is opened up. This also creates a dining area space. I’m guessing the table doesn’t extend past - or very much past - the corner where the drinks console was. You said the long wall is 27 feet? It looks like even with table & console moved, you still have space for a piece of furniture. Is that shelf unit sitting next to sofa looking for a permanent home? What do you think of this new arrangement? Maybe live with it for few days & see how it works? Do you have large art to hang on long wall behind table?...See MoreBathroom empty space ideas
Comments (32)I like to create a whole home color palette and use the darker or brighter or more dramatic versions of the colors on bathroom or laundry room walls, but I wouldn't want a random bright or dark color. Using the accent color from your master bedroom on the walls of the master bath is a great way to tie the rooms together and add drama to the bath....See MoreIdeas for empty space
Comments (3)Love your property! (New England?) Stone adds so much character to a garden, and you have it in abundance. Are those old foundation walls? You have a wonderful opportunity for gradual development for years to come, to enhance the distinctive natural character that is already there and to plan interesting journeys from one great area to another one that offers a completely different feel. Done well, it will seem like it has been there for centuries. I assume you have probed the soil and know that the ledge underlies the entire area between boulder and the building near it? A pond would be lovely, if possible, but as @Sigrid suggested, a fern grotto would be beautiful too. If this photo was taken in the afternoon, then that area faces south and probably gets quite a bit of sun, so you will have to choose sun-tolerant ferns. Here's an edited photo with a few other ideas that seem appropriate to the property, planting "gateway" trees (sugar maples?) at the entrance to the firepit area and screening it off a bit so it feels more like a place apart. I haven't shown much green, given the season of the photo, but have left spaces for perennials among the dormant shrubs. (This also shows a small pond--wishful thinking!)...See More

Storage, library, displaying, desk, etc. No matter what you decide, I would reduce the depth in half by drywalling as I think it will provide lots more options. There may be a need to redo fireplace moldings and even mantle if going with builtins.
