So, we were thinking of putting the tv next to the built in bookshelf so that all focus could go in that direction BUT we don't want to put the couch up against the wall b/c the couch would cover the ac vent (which would be bad b/c of the hotness) so I'm trying to be brave enough to arrange my funiture w/o pushing everything against the wall which is basically what i do all the time. I should be brave, huh?Biteofpunkinpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04774888786937493258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538506389281065617.post-35221489737405321402008-05-16T18:21:00.000-07:002008-05-16T18:21:00.000-07:00I think you might just be the most organized perso...I think you might just be the most organized person in the United States! I too feel like i need to be there. <BR/><BR/>Is there a certain place that your TV must go? Can you put it with your fireplace--on the same wall or is there not room for it? The fireplace is usually the focal point but also, if the room will be used for TV watching lots then you'll need to keep that in mind too!<BR/><BR/>two things I think work well it either to put both focals together {TV and fireplace} or on opposite walls and have the seating perpendicular to both. Clear as mud?

Yeah, it takes me about two days to rearrange a room.
