I live in a 1970’s ranch style house that has a sunken living room and it has been a challenge to figure out the layout. Once I figured out where to put the couch and TV that didn’t interfere with the window or walkways, I was left with an awkward and narrow corner. This corner backs up to my entryway that has this old metal railing. So many challenges…
Once I found a design I liked I went ahead and laid out a rough sketch of it on the board. The board is made up of glued up pieces of about 2” wide boards, so I decided to use those seams as a natural break in my design. And for the holes I was going to use three (3) different sized forstner bits (1 3/8”, 1” and 1/2”). So as I decided where I wanted them I put a B = Big, M = Medium, and S = Small. That way I would be confused once I got to the cutting process.
So I have a very odd shaped living room… long and narrow with two openings and a big picture window. It has been a challenge to figure out how to arrange the furniture in the space, especially because my husband will not give up his giant speakers and giant tv! But I have settled on a layout that works for us and have lots of plans to completely makeover the space. I want all sorts of built-ins to hide speakers and get stuff up off the floor so it is easier to clean up all of Oscar’s hair and dirt. But until the time comes to do all that I wanted to something that would spice up the room, its totally boring right now, and give me something pretty to look at. Plus, I have been acquiring lots of plants lately in hopes of becoming a “crazy plant lady” , so I decided to makeover this odd corner space because it gets good light for my plants.
