Congratulations on your new home! It's great to hear that you're excited about decorating. Let's discuss your options for the dining set and sofa to help you make decisions:

1. Dining Set:

- Rectangular: A rectangular dining table is a classic choice that works well in many spaces. It provides a formal and structured look, and it's ideal if you often entertain guests or have a larger family. Consider the available space between the kitchen and living room to ensure there's enough room to comfortably walk around the table.

- Circular: A circular dining table can create a more intimate and cozy atmosphere. It works well in smaller spaces or if you prefer a more casual and intimate dining experience. A circular table can also be visually appealing and add a touch of elegance to the area. Keep in mind that it may have a smaller seating capacity compared to a rectangular table.

Consider your lifestyle, the number of people typically dining together, and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve when deciding between a rectangular or circular dining set. Additionally, measure the space available to ensure the chosen table fits appropriately.

2. Sofa for the Living Room:

Choosing the right sofa for your living room is crucial as it sets the tone for the space and determines comfort. Here are a couple of options to consider:

- Sectional Sofa: If you have a spacious living room, a sectional sofa can be a great choice. It offers ample seating and creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Consider the configuration of the sectional based on the layout of the room and the placement of the fireplace.

- Classic Sofa: A classic sofa is a versatile option that can work well in various living room styles. Opt for a design that complements the overall aesthetic of your home. Consider factors such as the size of the room, the desired seating capacity, and the level of comfort you prefer.

Remember to consider the scale of the furniture in relation to the size of the room and ensure there's enough space for comfortable movement. Don't forget to incorporate your personal style and preferences into the choices you make for both the dining set and sofa. Enjoy the process of decorating your new home and make it a reflection of your unique taste and personality!

Good advice from CPArtist - for instance you might find you need/want a mudroom space attached to the garage. And/or add a larger pantry space (then remove the one in the kitchen to free up more counter space)

eliminate the peninsula /eliminate the diag sink / eliminate double ovens-get a range w a good hood instead of cooktop. Construct a U kitchen with your three walls and w the changes it should work better. You have over 10 ft across...so 5 or 6 feet of aisle. there is no reason why you can't get a U kitchen to work for two cooks. Eliminating the bay window seems unnecessary. You need lighter walls..lighter counters.. w blinds closed and only one window. You'll get better task lighting as part of a redo. Good ceiling feature also: so start with calculation of budget, as new appliances and new everything are part of a good plan. You have space.

removing windows and putting in a door is easier than vice versa. remove the brick, frame out the area for the door, install. if you want to bring up the floor level,(what do you plan on doing w/the fireplace? you would have to redo it and the book cases) for the new floor, they would have to lay joists, sub floor, and flooring to even it out to the other. At this point I would advise you to replace all of that white tile and do the same flooring throughout the first level. can you match the wood you have in the other room? .Oh, demo of all that tile? 1-2 K (can't see how much you have) remove a window and install french doors, about 2-4K. building a banquette? have no idea. 1-2K? new table, custom made cushions, etc. I don't mind the sunken part. I'd do the french doors and close off that other door by the nook. would be cool if you could extend that whole side of the house further out another 6-10 feet. I'd rather do that than raise the floor level. i'd also widen your stair area leading down. on the living side, you could do something like this w/stair sides (little built ins) install a cool beam above it: or move the stairs to one side If you replaced your windows w/doors, you could do one large sofa, and place the two chairs as you come down the stairs. (that's why it might be nice to move the stairs off to one side, gives you a bit more space. or try this layout. you may have enough room to walk behind the other sofa in front of the doors. (if you could bump out that wall another 6' or so, it would be perfect!

I need a bit more context please. I do agree the drapery in the breaskfast nook is way too formal for the furniture and also to go with the drapes in the LR.I will sya I really dislke family photos in public sapces so maybe look for a piece of art for above the FP and then coose a color from that if you have to change the color . Maybe I should explain about the photos I do not think it is agood idea to have photos of kids especailly where someone coming to the door can see them. I love family photos in the hallways going to the bedrooms for instance where it will be unusual for a stranger to be there .As for the color for thenook can we please see the kitchen. Post pics and answers here in acomments do not start another post.

A round table with extension leaves gives you the most flexibility. Sofa are a very personal preference. If the space is for lounging, and you have room, you can’t beat a sectional. Englander makes a budget friendly super comfortable option,
