We'll let the space stew for a bit, as we need to get it painted and new carpet laid down before we buy any new furniture.<br /><br />I'm researching some fabulous art for those big ass walls, to make it a place of beauty.<br /><br />And we'll probably buy a couple of recliners to go along the long wall.

WooHoo!
...Billiards party at The Big Yellow House! WooHoo!<br /><br />Unfortunately, I have no practical solutions. I do like the idea of a parlor, but if it's not going to be used much, it seems a shame to put furniture in there that won't see much love.<br /><br />Maybe an art gallery of sorts? Since it's the first thing visitors see when they walk in, having things of beauty greet them might be kinda cool.Carol Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06041453807217603422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-12308627970409774502013-07-02T07:06:06.900-06:002013-07-02T07:06:06.900-06:00No idea...No idea...mom in northernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120181704524007556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-54910264905932465532013-07-02T07:04:58.826-06:002013-07-02T07:04:58.826-06:00Books with out question...Books with out question...mom in northernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120181704524007556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-23811298891008368742013-07-02T06:53:19.646-06:002013-07-02T06:53:19.646-06:00Carol, we already have one.

And many houses that are way too big have both a living room and a den. <br />I liked the use of it as a library, since it said a lot about your love of books as soon as you walk in the door. :)<br />My sister's house has a similar little room at the front that she has a desk and kids toys in that she'd like to make into a library.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-52537834270905841722013-07-01T11:31:04.058-06:002013-07-01T11:31:04.058-06:00Wet bar . . . obviously!Wet bar . . . obviously!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578918682897536518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-67066991362880905852013-07-01T09:53:58.648-06:002013-07-01T09:53:58.648-06:00Juan, it is reminiscent of a parlor.

Which seems strange in a modern house. <br /><br />MG, I can't think of anything more tedious than trying to figure out what our neighbors are up to. <br /><br />And we probably will let it sit idle for a bit - we need to get it painted and new carpet laid before we spend money on additional furniture.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223994862015217811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9112925820320944611.post-34818451909619728652013-07-01T09:19:41.270-06:002013-07-01T09:19:41.270-06:00Michelle - add a little table for the binoculars. ...Michelle - add a little table for the binoculars.

If I saw it, I might suggest taking down one of the walls to combine it with a nearby room, but it's hard to know just from your description whether that's even possible.
