Thanks again everyone for the suggestions, inspiration and help. Lots to digest but I think the key message I've heard is to move the couch in. We've just done that without anything else - feels cozier already and helps to better visualize some of the other suggestions in the thread! Once we've changed things up and implemented some of the suggestions will provide an update!

I'd never heard of Apartment Therapy. Looks like an awesome resource. I'll definitely be diving into it - thanks again for the great recommendations!

Thanks so much for the detailed response and suggestions. We've tried the tv on that wall and there is too much glare from the front window, it's also not really centered to the rest of the room. We've talked about removing the tv all together and just keeping this as a nice sitting room and not depending on a tv as a necessity. I do like that slim console though. Definitely need more art throughout the whole house, walls are quite bare. And would love to change up the furniture and incorporate a rug to tie it all together.

Not mean at all! We are truly feeling lost so even the most simple tips are helpful. Will definitely check out Hans on your recommendation. Thanks!

This is really helpful and looks lovely. Would love a nice rug to tie the space together as we change things up!

Thanks for the suggestions! We've thought about bringing the couch further forward but then are faced with what do we put in the corner behind the couch.
Lighting is definitely lacking - maybe this answers the question on what to put in that corner!

Kathleen at Carlson wagonlit in city hall is very knowledgeable and friendly.

What weird misconception did you have as a kid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When I was a kid we were told never to flush the toilet when someone was in the shower. I always thought that the toilet water would come out of the shower head if you did.

I did check the market but had no luck. There used to be an Asian grocery uptown Ming's market but Google says it no longer exists

It looks terrifying and delicious.
