<p>The room that COULD be a formal dining room is where we put our bills and other important financial and other docs. We have a file cabinet, teak dining table, chairs, extra sand alone file boxes, as well as a bank of bookshelves that have books, photos, and nick-nacks.</p>
<p>Pool table, bar table with four barstools, and a didgeridoo.</p>
<p>Sofa, leather wingback chair, leather contemporary style chair with ottoman, my grandmother’s secretary, my other grandmother’s marble topped chest of drawers, one nested side table, an antique pumpkin pine armoire, oriental rug over hardwood, built in book cases on both side of fireplace and a potted palm tree. Several pieces of art work- one of which is a huge oil on canvas. </p>
<p>We never use this room for entertaining, but in the winter I like to sit on the sofa and read as the room faces southwest and gets great afternoon sun. My dogs also love to sit on the bay window’s big ledge.</p>
<p>The stuff I want to get rid of: A white couch with a slipcover because the dog tore it. Two very uncomfortable chairs that no one likes. Two end tables and one coffee table that I want to replace. Two framed prints (outdated).</p>
<p>The stuff I want to keep: the rug, the piano, two brass table lamps that I like, five houseplants, a terrarium that I made. A silver double frame with my favorite pictures of my kids.</p>
<p>Decorating plans will take place as soon as I save up the money and figure out how to keep the dog under control.</p>
<p>Let me think. There is a kitchen chair, two dining room chairs, a coffee table and two glass door display cabinets. The cat ruined (peed on) the sofa, chairs and rug. Kept the cat (he’s family) and tossed the furniture. There will be no more furniture bought in his lifetime, and I am hoping we don’t have to bring the lawn chairs into the family room.</p>
<p>ps: He is old and diabetic. Hasn’t had an accident in months. He is also restricted to the laundry room at night.</p>
<p>Fun thread! Three walls of windows facing view; large Tibetan rug; two Donghia couches; two upholstered arm chairs; classic modern furniture tables (Noguchi cocktail table, Eames walnut stool, Sarinen side table, Aalto drinks cart); a very distinctive chair made by an artist that if I described it would identify me immediately; large fireplace with raised hearth; lots of natural history objects; long parson’s table with sculpture; some ceramic pieces; some “weird art” (no other way to describe it); cat toys; couple of large cushions for sitting on floor; various strategically placed buckets and towels to catch rain leaking into room. :(</p>
<p>All of my grandmother’s living room furniture transported directly to my living room after her death. With recent addition of large screen TV (and stand) and Playstation, for S2 and his friends. </p>
<p>Consists of: upright piano, silk sofa (more expensive than I would ever purchase), ottoman, glass topped side table with lamp, large oil painting of a Greek urn, wing chair, and antique secretary. Not a lot - but then my living room isn’t that large. Oh, secretary hold religious icons and theology books.</p>
<p>What’s in our living room is a bunch of furniture that gets used about once a year. But it does make a good shortcut between the bedrooms and the family room.</p>
<p>Large windows, couch and chair and 2 ottomans. a tv, fireplace and lots of books. Excellent lighting for reading and of course 2 laptops with plugs. This is one living room/great room space- used daily.</p>
<p>Nothing. I hate to own furniture that we don’t use. :)</p>
