After

Now that two of the children are off to college, that frees up a bedroom that they can convert into an office. So, she removes the computer and office equipment from the living area to make room for additional seating.

Before

Most of the furniture is on one side of the room, so she redistributes the weight to balance the room. She repositions the TV armoire to the center and angles the sofa pieces beside it in the same angle as the fireplace to create one central seating area. She converts the space from cramped quarters to user friendly.
