What do you think about this sectional? I want something that is modern but not too modern. Background: my house is in Brookside/Armour Hills so I need a healthy medium.

that's way better than anything you'd find at pottery barn
-
looks nice kc. does it come with an option for an unattached ottoman instead of attached? could make it more versatile.
-
Looks great. Hard to tell what is "too modern" w/o knowing what your house and other furniture is though.

I think sectionals are pretty trashy/man-cavey. Maybe this one?

They also have a non-sectional version of the one you like:

They're almost too common now. I'd find a place that will let you pick out your colors fabric legs etc. Itll take a while for it to be built but you'll be glad you waited...took my 5 piece 6 weeks but costs the same as any show room sectional

Depends on how much you can haggle for it.

Yeah, I would start the bidding at $75, and probably be willing to go as high as $100.

I like table top extending out over the legs in all directions, so no. Otherwise it's alright I guess. Looks like you have an old floor for a table.

I was wrong there anyway. I like four corner legs on my coffee tables. Maybe four corner that beast and we are looking right into each other's eyes on this thing.

the coffee table looks like a bench and doesn't go with your couch, like at all.

i regret starting this thread

I like the coffee table more than the couch.

too modern.

The coffee table doesn't look very comfortable? Who sits on a coffee table and worries about how comfortable it is?
(Apologies in advance if you were talking about the floor, etc., and not the coffee table).

I like it. Would take.

I like a coffee table with a drawer and a lower shelf

Since it may actually be more comfortable than the couch, instead maybe use it as a bench as well?

I would if it were outside. I mean, it's a bench.

Drawers and lower level would look terrible though so...

In all seriousness none of the couches in this thread would be anywhere close to being uncomfortable unless you're planning on parking your fat ass in front of a Battlestar Gallactica marathon for 6 hours. I may have turned up the "michigancat charm" a bit, but still.

That couch looks about as comfortable as a futon. I mean, it's not going to hurt to sit on it or anything, but why would you pay more than $1000 for it?

It's more comfortable than a futon. Good grief.

yeah, all the couches shown look fine re. comfortability. I don't think that's a problem.

Fellas how would you set up this living room.. Its kind of an awkward setup and I don't really want to block the windows/view with the tv and don't really want to put furniture in the walkway in between the bedroom to the left and right.. quite the conundrum
[attachment deleted by admin]

are you going to tear out the carpet?
-
No and there are actually two windows not just one on each side of the 3 windows in the middle unlike this pic that just has one

Where are the TV jacks located, under the window, one of the side walls?

Are those windows just in an expanded area that branches off of the living room, or is that picture pretty much the entire living room?

What is the length of the room, and how much space is there between the doors and the wall that is not shown in the picture?
-
no clue
[attachment deleted by admin]

you're going to want a couple of bar stools, because that's where people will congregate to.
-
What height are the ceilings? I usually recommend preposterously tall chairs, but not sure about this space.
-
those are the weirdest cabinets i've ever seen in my life.

what thickness is your drywall?

That window area would actually be a pretty nice place to set a dining room table, if your living room is big enough to sacrifice the space. I really can't give any advice without knowing just how big the room is.
-
do you prefer separate TVs for each videogame system?
-
based on that picture, id say its probably a garden snake. can never be too careful, though.

yla, your apartment looks nice. congratulations.

Buy a flat screen that hides inside a piece of furniture when you aren't watching it. Then you can set it up in front of the windows.

You are living there....I am pretty certain everyone who visits will love the view. :dance: (except in a tank top)
-
In that space, I think you'll simply have to put the tv in front of the windows. With your couch facing it. Just don't use a large tv stand & that should preserve most of your view. And definitely get bar stools, like RD suggested.

Put the TV to the left of the windows and angle a couch with it's back to the right bedroom. Or try it on the opposte sides. See what looks better. Leave enough space behind the couch so that you can walk around it to either side. putting a couch against a wall is almost always a horrible idea for flow.

bunk beds with your bro and turn the other bedroom into a purely media room then put a chaise in front of the window to enjoy your million dollar view
edit: bro or gal (ladybro) or course

where is this new place located?

If I look outside my window I can see the beauty of a scenic area and if I look east I can look out towards the WSC. daris and I can meet for lunch or at the links
