Have you ever noticed that once one begins to fiddle, it's hard to stop?
This morning I felt the urge to tweak the furniture again. Only trouble is, I'm left with a chair with nowhere to go (the one that sat next to the round table).
Still, what do y'all think?

Yes! Better! That sofa half in front of the curtains would really bug me. That doesn't mean it had to bug you, if you were satisfied with it, but that's my O, FWIW. And slanting it like that brings the seating area together in a homey way.
One of the frustrations of life is that I can't move the furniture around in the living room, even though I don't really like the way it is. There are simply too many large pieces of furniture that only fit one fit one way, and don't fit in any other room (except for doing something ridiculous like moving the china closet so that it wasn't right next to the eating area.) So I like kibitzing with yours! :wink-wink:
It's good, except I'd move the cat to the other side of the room.
How about moving the round table closer to the sofa, angling the old radio in the corner, and will that leave room for the chair between table and other sofa? Can't tell from this angle. And you need a reading lamp on the table.
The cat looks puzzled.
I love it! Very nice. Would the other chair fit is you put the little magazine rack next to one of the chairs or couch (within arms reach of grabbing a book out of it? Maybe the chair would fit right where it is.
Or, it looks like you could find a different home for the TV table (I think that's what it is) rotate the radio console thing 90 degrees to the other wall, move the mag rack either to the other side of the sofa or next the recliner in the foreground (not sure what that does to traffic pattern) and fit the chair in next to the radio console, with the round table between chair and sofa? But I guess the radio console might be too wide for that space, so in that case the suggestion of angling it is a good one, too.
I put the other chair on the left side of the largest buffet (there are two) in the dining room, so now there is a pub chair (that's what the table is...an English pub table) on either side of it.
The radio is terribly heavy and hard to move. It took the concerted effort of Dmitry and myself to move it a couple of feet to the right, as it was. Angling it had been my original intent but I gave up on it.
The way it's all set now mayn't be optimal, but it works. :wink-wink:
I really like the couch at an angle, as opposed to the previous picture.
and the FIRST thing I thought was "no...the cat's all wrong..." but I see Lois noticed that already.
And all the pictures you posted of the party ....wonderful!!
I think it looks Great!
Well if you're happy the way it is, great, but if you want that radio angled, just wait until the next time you have a house full of young men (which apparently happens often) and.... :flirty:
