Can you move the sofa closer to the front door and let it divide the living and dining spaces?DAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242691304393481987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-5662894959735391202011-05-28T20:41:24.450-04:002011-05-28T20:41:24.450-04:00Hi Meg, It is definitely looking GOOD!!!

Either one is closer to the bathroom and away from the street noise. Each has only one window, but I don't think you are the type of person to spend much time in a bedroom. If you use #3, you can place your off season clothes and the other dresser in another room.

My only thought is that you might want to make the conversation area more cozy by moving the seating in a little closer with the sofa. I'm sure you'll know what to do once the furniture is there.

Thinking in 3-D dimensional spatial terms, the narrow room will seem wider with the sofa centered on the blank wall flanked by the bookcases and the slipper chairs with the chimneypiece opposite, between the windows. The table could be set adjacent to the stairs and there would be room to pull it out when needed.JTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-67196962741633158972011-05-28T07:46:16.665-04:002011-05-28T07:46:16.665-04:00Your floors look great.

How lucky that you have nice hardwood that is in great condition.<br />As for your living/dining situation, I would use the gate leg table only when needed but I love space. In pictures I love seeing all the different furniture and seating arrangements but I couldn't live with it.<br />Also what did you use to design the layout? I would love to try this with my unusualMaryBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547321109503148189noreply@blogger.com
