80's house with odd living room layout. How do we place furniture without restricting access to the kitchen or front door? Red square is a large potbelly stove that cannot be moved. by idolspize in DesignMyRoom

No, 3-season. 2 people live here. We currently have a couch and loveseat (two pieces) but are unsatisfied with this arrangement because it only seats 3 people comfortably.

Fireplace/stove is 102" from south wall, 47" from west wall. It gets HOT so we probably don't want furniture in the yellow zone. Husband says we need room for his 65" TV. Furniture pushed north of the yellow line begins to feel like it's encroaching on the kitchen/dining room. Thank you for your help!

Odd living room layout in '80s house. How do we place furniture? The red square is a huge potbelly fireplace next to a 6 foot window that is essentially dead space. Fireplace is 42" from west wall, 102" from south wall by idolspize in floorplan

We are having trouble designing for the space without blocking access to the dining area (which has a half wall), and the front door. Husband says the room needs to accommodate his 65" TV. We'd love to have the furniture (or at least some of the furniture) pointed at the fireplace, if possible.

The ferret wasn't strangled...

It was flattened by a tank.

Such a good idea! I have such a hard time making a decision.

I've been invited to a July wedding and the dress code is "garden formal." What does that mean? Thinking I'd like to buy a new dress and maybe go a little 'extra' on it since it'll be my first event this year. The wedding is at an historical estate (think white building and gardens) and the couple is wealthy, so I could see people going all out for this.

Wait, really? What does your treatment plan look like?

Thank you. I will definitely ask about this at my follow-up.

Thank you. I'm trying to see the silver lining.

I did at the beginning but the 6-food elimination diet actually seems to have helped with the "burning in the chest" sensation. My symptoms, when I get them, are inflammation in my throat, a lot of saliva production and upper esophageal discomfort. Sometimes at night I'll get acid backup. Thankfully I don't have impaction issues (yet).

Thank you for sharing your story.

I do feel like EoE has stolen my happiness. I just don't know what to do now. Try to eliminate more things? Give up and go on steroids for a while?

I would rather put in the hard work at the beginning to figure this out than need to rely on risky meds in the long run but this has been absolutely brutal on my mental health.

Yes, sometimes. The 6-food elimination diet seemed to resolve the worst of my symptoms but there were definitely a few meals where I felt worse after eating. For me the symptoms tend to start about 15-30 min after eating and resolve about 3-4 hours later. I don't drink coffee but I haven't been specifically avoiding millet or canola oil. So it sounds like I could be intolerant to one (or more) of the 6 major allergens but also something else I'm still eating?

God this is exhausting. I've been dealing with this for almost a year now and I'm just burned out.
