Inspiration

Hey guys,
After seeing the incredible transformation of Sarah and Ian's dining room once again this weekend, I was inspired to follow through on finishing up ideas we've had for the living room. Some of you know that I bought some 3-D home remodeling software for the computer earlier this summer. I basically drew the entire house to scale so that we could play around with walls, furniture, fixtures, etc. Well, after a long hiatus, I started playing around again to put my thoughts onto the screen. Here are the results. I've been hesitant to pursue this idea because anchoring the shelving unit into the masonry walls didn't appeal to me all that much. However, we think it looks so good we should give it a try. Let us know what you think of this idea. Everything is to scale, so it should look exactly like this if everything works out. I'll probably begin working on this after I finish building the playroom in the basement this winter.
Love,
Doug, Jess, and Shea

This is one of the original orientations for the living room. The cross shelf would be above the tapestry, but I couldn't get it to work in the program.

Here's the view of the other side of the room. Don't mind the generic coffee table, as I intend to build a custom one to match the dining room table.
