You need an 8x10 rug for the seating area. Art over the 3-seater that is 2/3 the width of the sofa. A corner table between the sofa and loveseat with a lamp. Art in the dining area. For art look at minted.com art.com For rugs look at rugsusa.com wayfair.com rugs.com

Everything is so small, the lack of "invitingness" does not really show up. That a plant looks "sloppy" is because it is not yet cultivated and "tuned up." Where the plantings reach out and pinch where the drive enters the parking space is what will ultimately seem uninviting.

I am not a heat person AT ALL hahaha I long for the mountains and drier air. Something scenic that isn't flat! I'm in central Texas, too. People say, there's some mountains in Texas, some place called Enchanted Rock... It's a giant pink granite rock. One. That's not a mountain LOL. We couldn't afford the rock or logs on the outside of the house so we opted for siding and may redo later but the big windows all around and all the cedar and logs inside definitely make it more lodge feeling. I don't know how you tolerated 120* summers, I'd die!

Norm, would you be okay with three stories, instead of two? Just curious. :-) It really sounds like it would be a good idea to shop for a professional designer/architect. A lot/land that is only 56' wide (my production home is on a 55' wide lot, I think), by 90' long (mine is 125'), can't really support a huge house, in my opinion. I feel like *my* house is even too big for my lot, and it's a single story, 2060 sqft home that is roughly 36' wide by 57' long. Do you have a strict deadline for the design phase?

Looks like the TV should go right of the FP if it isn't too large. We need to see all the walls and some measurements to be helpful.

What else is going on in the room?

It looks like your dining table is a distance from the kitchen. Tucking it away into a lonely corner doesn't make for comfortable dining.

To me, a large item like a rug should look good with nearby white of kitchen - and not too earthy-dark....

buy a new base for coffee table?
