I thought we've decided we'll get a 7-piece dining set. But now we're trying to figure out if we could have both a dining area and conversation area in our screened porch.

Attached is one of my ideas of how to have both. I have tried several layouts but H thinks it too busy. Do you think we can have both? What pieces would you get and how would you lay them out? A must on my list though is a chair and ottoman. I want to be able to prop up my feet.

Do you need a couch and coffee table?

I guess that's fine although I would prefer to have a couch.

The backyard is small and not much going on. There's no better view.

Way too much furniture. You're going to constantly be bumping your toes and shins into furniture.

My mom has a similar size 3 season porch in her MD digs. She has a 60" . She has a round table in one corner with 4 seats (we can squeeze 2 more in a pinch). There's a smallish settee/loveseat, a chaise (for feet up reading), an arm chair and a small etegre. There isn't really room for much more than a few plants.

I would get rid of the extra armchair and ottoman but you said that's a must. So what about nix the coffee table and use the ottoman topped with a tray between the loveseat and two chairs. Get rid of the third chair.
