We are opening up our living room space which flows into the kitchen. We can get our counter to overhang 10" into the living room and put a stool or two there as in option 1, but that changes the configuration of my 'listening room' where I will have my stereo system and record collection.
Our two windows we would like to have plants by and maybe a floor standing lamp or sconce by the small window at top right.
Configuration 2 feels roomier and was were the stereo was before, but now the wall is down to the kitchen so it's more open. Config 2 also feels more natural for dance parties with friends.
We'd like to get a small bookshelf in there as well.
Are too many things against that long wall if we go with config 1? (considering we'd like to squeeze a small bookshelf or something to hold some books on there as well?
Any thoughts or alt configs? We have discussed having the TV against the large west facing window but that feels a bit wrong as it gets rid of plant space and will end up blocking some of the window.
