As for kids, they turned into very nice adults at 27 and 29 YO and have lovely partners that appreciate wine and food. The boys often take turns cooking during the week.

A couch back should not block an entry doorway. I would place the couches across from each other at right angles to the fireplace. I would put them on a rug that would be large enough to go under the couches. A coffee table between the couches close enough that you can place your feet or a drink on the table. <br />Do you have a table that would fit into the bay window where you can display your treasures.<br />The placement of the couches this way will open the view into the living room from What I presume is the entry hallway.<br />could you try the table that is beside the fireplace in the dining room? It seems too wide for that position and presently too much is lined up along the wall. <br />Try the table in the bay window. If a light chair could go in with it it would feel like a desk.<br />You don't need a rug in the dining room that you may not be able to use in your new space.<br />I like the doors in the living room.<br />Looking forward to what happens next.<br />Janine<br />minwkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487584020742239991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-61841706099839430522015-07-13T06:05:57.600+10:002015-07-13T06:05:57.600+10:00I think a rug would look lovely, maybe a blue/grey...I think a rug would look lovely, maybe a blue/grey chevron pattern. I agree with Hels though, not if kids eat there, my floor under the table gets more food on it than the kitchen work surfaces do.Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12046312998038020946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038987539224858410.post-75080443024723474812015-07-13T00:13:27.563+10:002015-07-13T00:13:27.563+10:00A rug under the kitchen table?

The room's two focal points, the fireplace and the bay window, definitely have to be emphasised.Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
