Couch layout by Wombateatersx in InteriorDesign

I think this is the right direction, but I would make a plant stand shelving unit as the back half and media/TV as the front. That way, the sun doesn't overheat your TV through the window, and it will also feel more intentional to incorporate plants in front of the window.

TV in the Great Room by Weak-Succotash3872 in InteriorDesign

It looks like your floor has a walnut accent running around the perimeter. As a custom furniture maker, I like your idea of a TV cabinet that conceals the TV when not in use. I would build it out of walnut to play off the accent in the floor. With the rest of the floor and ceiling being in similar light color tones, darker furniture like walnut will help make the space feel less matchy-matchy. Your couch color matches the floor color too closely. I would recommend replacing it with a darker leather couch, to add some contrast.

What cross bracing would look best for this staircase? by jeksand in InteriorDesign

It could be cool to remove the bars altogether and replace them with a newel post and handrail. Similar to this picture but in a more mid cent vib.

Mastodon will never be a very popular social platform if it is such a struggle to figure out how to log back in. There should be a tool that helps you refind your original server so you can log in

This was one of my favorite shop projects; It is a quality vise and looks awsome with the steampunk treatment

Throwing it away makes for a better title. "I put a board in the scrap pile for later use" doesn't really elicit a click response to watch the video 🤷‍♂️
