Here are pictures of the room. What is a good workable layout for this space? How would you zone the activities that take place? I'd love your input. : ) (We still need to finish the drywall, vault the ceiling and put down flooring, hopefully later this year.) I love this big window, but how do I arrange the furniture around it? It's almost directly across from the entrance to the room, and lays slightly off center on the back wall. (Those blinds are on their way out as soon as DH can get curtain rods hung up!) Stepping back so that you can see the view from entrance to the room: Note, this room has been multi-multi purpose. It currently houses some building materials, in addition to our temporary kitchen and dining area, while other parts of the home are in process. I can't wait to settle in, clear the clutter, and really decorate! The table, chairs, and benches will be headed to the dining room ASAP. The little cupboard with the tall carafe looking thing is our water filter and will also be moving out. The dry sink is a stereo cabinet, and we sometimes hook our screen up to it for watching movies. I like it, but if there's not room for it, it can go. It takes up a lot of real estate, and newer technologies are more compact. The couch can stay, unless something else would be a better fit. Nearly all of the furniture you see in this picture was making-do for our temp. kitchen. The pine cupboards are great for storage, but I'm not sure where to put them. Same with the tall oak dresser. The micro cart is doomed. But it was great while we needed it. ; ) The dresser with the mixers on it can stay or go. I have 2 rockers, so they could be incorporated somewhere, (other rocker not pictured.) The vertical blinds will also be replaced with a rod and grommet topped curtains soon. How do you like that sponge painting, LOL? That was there when we bought the house. Here are the residuals of our work horse temporary kitchen. The "corner cabinet" is really nothing great. It's 2 uppers that we pulled out when we demolished the old kitchen. I don't plan on reusing them. The oak table to the right of the stove is very special to me, and I hope to find a good spot somewhere for it, perhaps in the dining room. The stove will be moving out, obviously. DH put up the shelves for the temp. kitchen and they will be coming down, too. (If you look carefully, you can see him working on our pantry door in the background. Go DH! He's awesome! : ) ) We've now come full-circle around the room. It's a big space, I just need to know what to do with it. Thanks for any help you can offer.

more pics to show what's on the other side of the wall. powder room, pantry kitchen and dining room kitchen is almost done

Hello Kacie. What do you think? Does this layout work for you? Did you try it? It gives you a great view of the tv and out of that amazing window. I know that the furniture isn't all of what you have so the rest is just food for thought. For instance the couch tables may not work. Also the bench seat under the window has storage in it as does the bookshelf unit and a toy box under the thin table against the stairs. The added storage is great for toys for the little ones and for your dog. Take care Kacie. I am happy to help in any way I can. Marcie

This is such a pretty room!! Omg love! Anyways. I agree. The current light you have needs to have the table under it. Either we can swap the light or just move the table. I also think your not satisfied with the current because the couch is blocking rounded bay windows. So it looks a bit strange. Again,that’s why the table would help if it was there. If the couch is on the FP side of the room I’d face it the other way than from the picture shown meaning facing the porch doors and FP. also, when and if you move things around make sure the couch is on the rug.... you have very nice furniture and a beautiful space!! Love it and totally see the vision
