What do You Think?

The living room is a rectangle. One of the short walls has the fire place. One of the long walls has the bay window. Our initial plan was to put the television on the non-fire place short wall, and the couch on the non-bay window long wall. We'd then get a love seat and put it in front of the window and a comfy chair in the middle facing the television.

Not so much. That makes the people sitting on the biggest chair, the couch, have to look sideways to watch the tube. That's more uncomfortable than we thought it would be. So, what about putting the couch in the middle of the room, bisecting it, and the love seat on the long wall and the chair in front of the window.

Nope. We thought we could put the couch in the middle and when we wanted to sit in front of the fire we could just spin it around. Unfortunately the room looks... kinda... stupid with the couch in the middle. Oh well, it worked in the old Salem apartment, but it isn't working here.

The new plan that is forming has us getting a corner television stand and putting it in the corner where the bay window wall meets the fireplace. Then we put the couch on the big wall, the love seat on the little wall, and the chair by the window. We think that will work. Now we just have to pick a television stand.

What do you think? Are we making the right choice? (as if you could really answer that without seeing the room... I'll get some pictures up soon.)
