Marcia briggs on Sep 30, 2016why not have all in one room---a round table that could be used for dining, crafts, games and reading/research projects. there are tables on the market that expand however you need them to be. a series of lawyer's bookshelves (glass fronts that close) can house not only books and craft items but dinner and serving pieces. mixing and matching them could be interesting. the tops of the cases could be used for buffets or projects of any kind. a dining chair can be used when working at the table. the other three can be tucked into corners along with some lighting to make a comfortable reading area. I would mix the dining chairs ( 2 armchairs and two slipper chairs). using chairs with upholstered fabrics will make them look less like dining chairs.Helpful Reply

Sheryl Sumpter on Oct 01, 2016I have never liked a TV in the living room, so I made my dining area into the TV/entertainment area and the living room is cushy seating for reading or conversing with company without the TV distraction.Helpful Reply

Stephanie on Oct 01, 2016Maybe, in addition to the loveseat you can use a partition wall (the folding type, they're so pretty!) If you do yoga or meditation you could change it into a "wellness" room. Or make a super cozy reading nook with candles or decorate with items that reminds you of your favorite place you've been or want to go. A tropical getaway! Place a sand colored area rug, starfish and shells crawling the walls. A small waterfall fountain. You could install one of those super comfy hammock style chairs from the ceiling. Or, if you want to spend some money, maybe you could open the kitchen up and put in an island and use one side for more room for cooking and baking and the other side (taller) and get some bar stools for eating. Sorry my thoughts are all over the place. I'm just thinking what I would love to do if I had an extra room! Also, if you have a back door near the area you could make a mud room and laundry room. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Johnchip on Oct 01, 2016I am all into aviaries right now since I saw a beauty of a one with small song birds, plants, door to enter and a fountain in a home in Aspen. Also great aquariums make great dividers.Helpful Reply
