Mix it up

I have a very long living room. It is 14x30 actually. The front half of the room was intended to be the "living room" while the back half was intended to be the dining room. But we have a baby grand piano thus the "dining room" was the "piano room." My red couch floated in the middle breaking the 14x30 space in half and created a great place for the fireplace to be a showcase.

But I wanted to open the huge space up.



So this is what you see from my entry. I moved the piano into the bay window at the "living room" end. The fireplace is kind if hanging by itself but oh well.



Here is the opened up seating arrangement. We use it a lot more since it is closer to the kitchen.


I got all my pictures from the photo shoot this summer with Vanessa and got them in frames above the couch. Catherine called it the Wall of Fame when she saw it Wednesday. And exactly to the left of the last frame on the left is the entry to our kitchen.



And at Christmas I am planning on getting the biggest tree ever (and a new ladder to string the lights) for my 2 story window that the piano is sitting in front of, so I guess the piano is going to have to move again in a couple of months. Lets see what I come up with then!
