Here's where our grown-up living room is starting out:
The problems include (obviously) the paint, but you can see I am already working ideas for that. Additionally, we wanted to put a television on that blank wall, but we're torn. There's no cable outlet there, so that will take some creative wiring/wireless projects. And we aren't sure how much we would use a separate television. Guests don't come over to watch TV, and when Jon and I watch, we just watch from the kids' room.
Projects include:
- Paint
- Furniture placement
- Curtains
- Art and Design
- Using my mirrors - you know I love my mirror wall!
- Some great lighting (no overhead lights)
- Ceiling paint - low on the priority, but you can see the owners randomly painted a gloss patch on the ceiling - ignorant.
What are your thoughts??

How about 2 occasional chairs across from the couch, with a white mantel-like shelf on the wall for artwork? Move the desk between the windows.
I like the two chairs idea. What if the couch went on the wall and the chairs floated in the middle? I feel like moving the couch is going to create more flow...
I love both your ideas, I think some nice plants would brighten up the room too. Maybe make it a nice place to sit down with a book and a cup of tea, which I am sure with kids might be a rare, but much enjoyed treat.
