Comments (3)That really leaves you with the current arrangement, replacing the grey chair by the front window with kid stuff and leaving the floating living space opposite the TV. I'd really look into rerouting cable so the TV can be where the large art piece is. It's not usually very expensive and will be necessary in order to keep your walkway from running right in front of the tv....See Morelighting plan for open floor plan...dilemma
Comments (1)I think island pendants are entirely optional, and if you don't want them, skip them. If you're concerned you might change your mind, have the electrician wire for them but don't put them in now. It's pretty low cost to put the wires in now (and would be costly later), and that way it's there if you change your mind....See MoreUrgent! Yellow paint color for first floor open floor plan
Comments (42)My small master bath is painted Philadelphia Cream and I've hated it forever. A small sample on the wall looked so creamy and innocuous but four tall walls (9-ft. and vaulted beyond) in a small room make it nearly pulsate. I've been meaning to repaint for ages....See MoreMain Floor - open concept or not? Floor Plan Included
Comments (5)The answers to your questions will change based on how people live--which may be different from how you or I live. My current home has a formal dining room at the front of the house, similar to your floor plan. We use that dining room once a year on Christmas, and only because I feel obligated; the other 364 days of the year are spent eating meals in our eat in kitchen, even when we're squeezing 10 people around our kitchen table. For our new, downsized home (we're in the final sketches with an architect) there will be no dining room, and a very large eat in area for a table in the kitchen. Because that's how we live. So in your floor plan, I'd turn the dining room into the living room as Patricia suggested, and put a table in the current great room. Whether you do that or leave the dining room at the front of the house, I'd personally leave the fireplace as a separating wall between the great room and living room. If you remove it, you'll then have a huge cavernous space (30'x20') that would then be broken up into different seating areas anyway. The fireplace just makes it easier to break up those areas and provide more of a barrier for times when someone might want to watch TV in one area while someone else would prefer to read or listen to music in the other area....See Moreffpalms
