Maybe get two or three ottomans (for you, since you have kids with lots of stuff, storage ottomans) so when you have company there's room for lots of people to sit. But tons of stuff doesn't need to be shoved in there; it looks nice as it is.samhttp://samsrainbowsandunicorns.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-4122690272878544392013-05-03T11:36:34.558-07:002013-05-03T11:36:34.558-07:00Yes, live with it for a while.

Mine is supposed to be a divided living/dining room area, but it's more a family library, relaxing space. No dining table at all. <br><br>I do know that I'm very itchy to pull your couch away from the window and bring it further into the room, avoiding that "dance floor" feeling. Unless, of course, that's what your family is doing in there! ;)Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14000400260579054708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-63568110991703297692013-05-02T23:35:38.308-07:002013-05-02T23:35:38.308-07:00i need a website/information relating to trustwort...i need a website/information relating to trustworthy christian females searching for men of <br>identical class.<br><br>my web site; <a href="http://u-hoops.com/members/terriz18/activity/7293/" rel="nofollow">how to get girls to like you</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-68076620209092279802013-05-02T17:24:22.893-07:002013-05-02T17:24:22.893-07:00loving the coziness of the second space, and love ...loving the coziness of the second space, and love the SPACE of the first one!!! what a great room to work with!Cassie @ Primitive & Properhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07848936864799611251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-89551654220778555182013-05-02T14:35:53.054-07:002013-05-02T14:35:53.054-07:00P.S.

It looks like they'd just fit, and have a little room to spare for drapes. Definitely float the sofa (front facing the fireplace), put an armchair/pair of side chairs to the right of the fireplace to balance the bookshelves, and then move all of the kid stuff into the family room? Although I just love how awesome your family room looks right now, this might help solve the current bareness in your living room until your money tree starts producing tens and twenties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-23358402170364950802013-05-02T10:55:51.582-07:002013-05-02T10:55:51.582-07:00Teepee: Yes!

So my other advice is: Just live for a while. Make little tweaks as you see they need to be made. The big changes will reveal themselves over time.<br><br>I'd so much rather read a real blog than a pretty one. Because you want your space to serve your life (rather than just be pretty) I don't think you can ever be that other kind of girl.

Thought of you as I read it. Here it is: http://emilyaclark.blogspot.ca/2013/04/beds-and-windows.html<br><br>PS: That family room looks fabulous! Some artwork on that wall where the toys will be (made by the kids, of course) and some drapes and it is done.

Definitely put the couch facing the fireplace--float it. A table behind it, facing the entrance way to make it more inviting to look at? <br><br>It cn take a year or so to figure out how to set it up so the place functions well for you. There's really no rush.

Then you can move the couch to face the fireplace? That would fill up some of the space in the living room and make it seem like more is going on in there. <br><br>That would open up the wall in the family room to have additional book cases for more kids books as they grow. In the mean time you can flank the Besta unit in the family room with the smaller kids bookcases next to the tall narrow bookcases. (If they are all Ikea it should work!) The toys should be able to go where the small book cases were and still be low enough to have an art gallery on that wall. <br><br>I <3 Spacial Planning!<br>Liz Rendeirohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05149920291031124948noreply@blogger.com
