![]() On the main wall is a fireplace flanked by bookcases where I have windows. Obviously, it’s not identical to mine, but it’s very similar! On the left wall, there’s a doorway that leads to another room. Then I realized that the reason I was drawn to it was because the layout was very similar to my living room, and they had used a furniture arrangement that I had never considered! Here’s the image I saw, from a recent HGTV magazine before and after issue. I moved on, but kept going back to that picture. It wasn’t the decorating that drew me in, but there was something about it that I couldn’t put my finger on at first. I came across a living room that immediately caught my eye. Well, that has all changed! □ A couple of weeks ago, as I was sitting at Barnes & Noble, enjoying my coffee and flipping through magazines. So while that’s been my plan for this room all this time, I haven’t been thrilled with it, which is probably why I’ve found it so difficult to get motivated to finish it. That arrangement still didn’t seem welcoming for Matt, but I didn’t know what else to do. That’s been the plan, but I wasn’t thrilled about it. My thought was that two chairs would feel a bit more open than one solid sofa/loveseat back. I’d put the chairs where the sofa (loveseat) is in the picture above with a table between them, and put the sofa on the front window wall. So my plan all along has been to basically swap the chairs and the sofa. Here’s an old picture that shows that arrangement… At one point, I tried placing the sofa so that when you walk into the front door, the back of the sofa is on the right, which created a faux “entryway” feeling. I’ve tried several different furniture arrangements in there. ![]() And then there’s the end with the front door, which is all still in the same room, but I’ve wanted to create a separation between that end of the room as an “entryway” and the other end as a living room. There’s a wall with a doorway into the kitchen, another wall with two windows and a fireplace in between, and another wall with three windows side-by-side. One of the biggest issues I’ve had is furniture arrangement. And by “right,” I mean that it has never felt right to me. Y’all know how much I’ve struggled with my living room, right? In the six years that we’ve lived in this house, I’ve never once gotten that room right. ![]() Y’all, I LOVE immediate gratification!! □ I bought a new living room sofa yesterday! And within an hour, it was delivered to my house. ![]()
