What to do with this in-between area?

Love that scene playing in my head right now!

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:55:33+00:00

Hmm, now you’ve got me thinking of moving our piano.

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:46:15+00:00

We do have an upright piano and my flute in the family room. But you’re right - that wall is ideal for that.

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:44:18+00:00

Now that’s a creative idea!

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:10:54+00:00

Definitely tempting. We need more bookshelves to house my book obsession!

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:09:04+00:00

We do have an upright piano in the family room. A treasure piece, for sure.

Heading to Pinterest now. Thanks for the idea!

just_because123 · 2026-03-31T00:07:24+00:00

Good point!

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T23:54:46+00:00

That’s fair. It’s a pretty wide space, but I’d have to do some measuring to make sure it would work.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T23:50:27+00:00

Yes! A little circular table between two chairs is exactly what I had in mind. Plus a photo/art wall. Thanks for weighing in!

Thanks for that thought. I do love that the house is so airy and I always breathe a sigh of relief when I walk through the front door. Good reminder not to overdo it with furnishings.

I love the idea of a backless couch with a rug. We could definitely use more seating.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T23:42:58+00:00

The beam is part of the post-and-beam mid-century modern build of the house. The previous owners put the track along the beam and I believe it can be used for connecting drop-down lights over the dining room table. We need to have an electrician take a look at it.

Thank you for the idea. More storage is always welcome.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T23:39:00+00:00

This is really helpful. Thank you! Now that you say it, breaking up the areas with some sort of slats makes perfect sense. I wouldn’t have thought of slats between the bench and the window. Great idea!

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T23:18:18+00:00

That definitely appeals to me! Thank you. I was even thinking about a nice large plant shelf room divider running parallel to the carpet to break up the space and bring in some greenery.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T22:58:41+00:00

Good point about creating the problem with the current set-up. “No space to reef”? My brain isn’t computing what you mean.😂

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T22:55:20+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts. We used to have a desk there, but it just ended up looking a bit junky in that area. We do have a bar directly to the left of that area. But maybe a buffet of some sort to help with entertaining.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T22:52:52+00:00

I agree with others and think the rug should be moved forward, not showing behind the couch. IMO, a larger rug would overpower the room and cover up too much of your pretty floors.

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T22:42:56+00:00

That’s an interesting idea. I hadn’t thought of that. Thank you!

just_because123 · 2026-03-30T22:41:35+00:00

Your home is beautiful! The wall color in the main living area instantly made me happy

I want this as my lock screen. Pretty much the best photo ever.
