How would you furnish this oddly shaped room? Ignore everything that is in there right now. In particular, what do you do with the nook where the old loveseat currently is (under the anchor picture)? Thanks!

Open concept family room design challenge (sofa/tv)
Comments (4)It seems as if there is a blank smaller wall to the right of the TV. Move the TV there (lower it too), get a console table (25-50% longer than TV) and move the couch so it faces it. That way when people sit on it and you're in the kitchen their backs won't be to you....See MoreDesign challenged, but hopeful!
Comments (8)The link to your living room does not seem to work. Can you add the pic in the thread here? I had a peek at your Pinterest page. Nice! Lots you can do for a blank wall besides a pic gallery. A mural is one idea. If you Google what to do with a blank wall, you'll get results besides Pinterest. I think Elle Decor had a feature with a bunch of nifty, eclectic ideas. Heck, do a search here in the forum. :) Pretty much anything is possible with a vision. A nice budget helps. ;-)...See MoreHelp a design-challenged Floridian with patio furniture, pls!
Comments (2)To start I like the grill and the dining table to be as close to the kitchen as possible. As for furniture what is your interior style? I like to have some cintinuity from the inside to the outside . Plants are really something best chosen at a garden center in your specific area. Big pots work best and IMO the bigger the better for watering and for impressive plant and color display. At this time of year Costco usually has some great choices in outdoor furniture so maybe start there.This would be a nice color I think and I lo ve that there are loungers in the same style....See Moredesign challenge
Comments (1)Hard to imagine year round outdoor living in a zone 3 climate :-) Can you confirm by geographic location? And what exactly do you mean by that? Are you looking for a patio or a gazebo? What sort of activites will the area need to accommodate?...See MoreCara Kearney
