Also, just a note, the beautiful light fixture was kept by the previous seller.

Your paneling is STUNNING! I would purchase a console and place the console against the wall, sitting the tv ON it so that it can be within good viewing range. And you won’t interfere with the paneling. You could go VERY modern with a new chandelier, just as the previous owners went very traditional. Two couches and chairs, as suggested, above, are more versatile than a sectional. Tables with low level lighting, too are great! What a beautiful room!!

Good idea! Do you need all of those doors opening into the space?

The door that is open in the picture has a little hallway to a tiny bathroom. I would love to have it altered to swing inward into the hallway, and not into this room, but I'm not sure how feesible that would be to do since it's a very old door and transom, original to the house.

Also, if you look at the layout, one of the doors is no longer operational/in use. It's the door to the laundry, which was walled over.

Where do you eat now ? I think it is agood idea to have a space for TV not in the same space as you entertain adults but you also need to have a space where you can set a few more than the family unless you never do dinner parties .I am a bit confused as to exactly what we are looking at in the first pic/ I see the DR but what space is thta first pic? maybe just post the plan of that whole space might help.

Hi Patricia, the room pictured "labeled dining room" is our current room where we eat, it is connected to the kitchen. However, we have another smaller room that is currently used as our family room (living room) also connected to the kitchen, and I want to swap the functions of the room so we can have more space in our living room. So, once I purchase furniture for this room, it will no longer be used for eating. Sorry if I worded it confusingly.

Please give us the measurements of the fireplace: height and width. Also the length of the wall to the left of the fireplace. Thank you. We are reworking the rendition. Now that we know that the one door is walled off.

We had to make some adjustments to the room. We were off on the width of the room. Now that it is corrected we will post the pics for your consideration. One view is with the TV to the left of the fireplace. The other is with the TV on the wall next to the opening into the kitchen.

As long as you never, ever paint that beautiful wood, you can turn it into a room dedicated to doing cartwheels or painting landscapes vs. eating. What a breath-taking home!

recommend some wallpaper to transform the function

I promise never to paint the wood. I plan, however, to paint the walls a better color. I was thinking blue would look good with the wood tones.

So this space will now be really the LR/FR I think I need a floor plan I do agree to not paint the wood in that space . I do not love blue walls in LRs they usually take on a baby room looks but iI do love greens with wood this is one of my faves from BM I usually cut it 25-50% depending on the space .

Stunning room! i wouldnt mount the TV on the wall. Rather, I suggest it sit on a console. Would it fit on the odd angled wall by the window?

I have a frame TV that would fit on the angled wall next to fireplace or wall next to window
