That's great you're going to do your own art for the bath. How exciting! Maybe if you like how it turns out, you'll be emboldened to make more. Or maybe not... You'll know more when the time comes. I'm not familiar with Aaron Bros, but it's possible to use mismatched frames from yard sales or thrift stores and then paint them so that they all one color so they look more or less the same. The matting can be trickier to diy, but Amazon, and some arts and crafts stores, have relatively inexpensive precut mats available. Some might frown on this idea, so I'll quietly whisper it: I've seen very nice paintings at our local Family Dollar and Dollar General. I found a large painting that gets all kinds of compliments in my dining room that I picked up on clearance at Family Dollar for $15 this spring. It makes me smile whenever I see it. I really like it and the price worked well for us. Hobby Lobby has their wall art for half price this week. Do they run sales like that frequently? Idk

Hello Jayne, What a fun space! Here are a few of my thoughts: For the dining space, I would stick with a small, rectangular table. Because you have a doorway to the porch near the dining area and you want room to walk around easily, I would aim for something not larger than 60" long by 36" wide, but you can double check that in the space. As for the seating area, if you want to maximize seating, I might aim for a couch with one or two chairs along the wall with the window. I notice when I have guests, everyone chooses a chair. Not everyone wants to snuggle up next to someone they don't know very well on a sectional. It is also easier to rearrange if you decide to change up the layout. If you want to have even more options for seating, it might also be nice to do one or more ottomans that are cushioned and could be used for feet or as additional seating for guests. They could be grouped together or spread out when being used. If you ended up replacing your coffee table with a/an ottoman/s, you may want to also add end tables so there is a place to set drinks, remotes, or lamps, if desired. For an entertainment center, I would potentially choose something a bit more narrow to make sure it wasn't in the walkway, For instance, this entertainment center is 14" D so it is the same as the depth change in the wall so it could be flush. I can be clumsy and prefer to have things tucked away or I run into them! Then I would add a rug, some lamps, and maybe a great mirror over the fireplace to make it look bigger and brighter! Good luck with your decorating and please share after pictures when you're done!

Good luck with your new home! Be very careful with gallery walls. They can go wrong very quickly. I see more bad ones that good ones. Instead, I'd choose a very impactful piece of art on the wall where the tv is now. You might have to move the tv/sofa/table to orient more toward the window than the center. I am thinking you'll have about about 90 cm (35") left on each side of the sofa if you center it. If you want end tables, you'll have to shift the entire furniture arrangement toward the window. You want a nice walkway from kitchen, along where tv is now and on to front door.

I like your proposed arrangement. Looks like you could add a t.v. on a swivel mount with a small console underneath to the right of the fireplace. As a general rule, the rug under the dining table should be 4 feet wider and 4 feet longer than the table, so it seems an 8x10 would best suit the table when fully extended.
