Switching The Living Room

    So in the next chapter of our new old house there has been an exciting twist - we have decided to switch the living room and dining rooms! 
    I was at first hestitant to do this because I wanted things to be in keeping with the original plan for the house, but we have been trying to figure out how to fit a couch into the old living room, and it just wasn't working. And we really want to be able to seat the maximum amount of people comfortably. 
    Here is the living room from the house listing pictures:
    There really isn't room for a couch on the wall where the piano was and it didn't make sense to block the light. Here is that same room that we will now make our dining room:
    I would love to get a long white harvest table that seats 8. A seven foot table will work perfectly in the space. 
    And here is the living room (which was the old dining room) in the house listing pictures
    And now as our future living room:
    I love the bay windows. I can't decide if I would like two chairs or a small loveseat in that area. A bigger couch will go on the right wall.
    Also, I know I want simple white roman shades for those windows but I don't know what to do with the dining room window. I don't want to block the transom but I can't think of any other options other than sheers that have rods at the bottom and top like the previous owner. Would just one rod at the top look better maybe? If you have any ideas I would love to hear them!
    Here is the before picture of these chairs from Kijiji before I got them slipcovered. I think they were cute like this too, just not exactly my style.
     I have found the most amazing lady who sews slipcovers in our area and she did a wonderful job.
    Layla wanted her baby in the pictures too, and held her up to the camera, saying "say cheese, baby!"
