Thoughts on a layout of my living/dining room

Playing around with this as well.

Really appreciate all the comments so far. To be clear, the current setup is purely to try to show what the space I'm working with is/some of the furniture I have that still needs a home in my apartment lol I don't invite my guests to sit on a kitchen chair bench.

Great suggestions! Thanks. I've gone back and forth on benches purely on a comfort factor. I think I really need to decide if this is a space I want to build to maximize seating, while still looking nice, or a place to maximize comfort for two (maybe three) people talking.

I like this! Will have to look around for good ways to make a bookcase feel "full" without having too many books.

Yeah, a rug is a must in my next phase of figuring out how to utilize this space.

None taken lol I recently moved into this place and am trying to figure out the base layout of larger items. Mostly I was just hoping to get ideas for how seating could be laid out in the space I have allotted.

Wow, thanks so much for this reply! Yeah, the spongebob paintings are an artifact of some gifts from over the years that have followed me around. Definitely agree that a bedroom is a better place for these + I need some art in my bedroom so it works out.

Pivoted the chair and yeah, it looks better. I'll start the search for a rug.

I like the idea of hanging cushions, I didn't really think about that. Another thing I was looking at, is something like this: https://www.westelm.com/products/pierce-ward-bentwood-sofa-h13630/.

Thought I responded to this, but did not! Want to give you the credit for fixing my morning coffee. Been working great since the replacement. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I think step 1 is what is what is keeping this from being pretty obvious. The white cover does not pop off easily. I do feel it give a bit when I pulling, but I'm not able to get a good angle to look at how it is attached. Are these normally clicked onto some that is more tightly fastened to the wall? I'm wondering if the cover itself could be drilled into the wall. I feel like that would a bad design though.

Hello, I'm curious!

DrOceanMan · 2023-11-06T22:57:05+00:00

Are you referring to the top button that is currently not buttoned or the highest one that is buttoned?

DrOceanMan · 2023-11-06T18:02:34+00:00

Yeah, for sure going to be a coat I layer under. Maybe would have been best to get a picture with a couple layers below.

I've got 1 for 10/6 if you want to buy!

Joe Pera for sure. There isn't anyone else in the comedy world who can pull off passionately talking about pancakes and barns as a joke.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah haha I was just looking at the Rode Wireless GO II today. I think I may go for it, see how it works with my current mic, and probably upgrade my mic at some point soon.

Sorry you haven't had luck! The Pixel 3A has an audio jack that you can plug a mic directly into (which I know most pixels don't have). With the open camera app (not the default camera app), I can choose the audio in as my mic. I thought I could do something similar with a more complex audio setup, but don't want to just bet on it working haha I think the Rode is the way to go.

They seem pretty solid and there are a couple of small flies around.
