shauni27, It's one of the love/hate features of my house. We have 6 fireplaces and I know of 2 more that are capped and behind drywall. They're so lovely but make furniture placement a real challenge!
konapoppy, it really is. We have JUST enough space to walk between and get around them this way.
sb people keeping asking is if we have a nursery theme. I tell them the theme is "does this room fit two cribs, a dresser and a glider?" LOL. Our room is a little under 10x10, but we don't have as many built in components that you do (fireplace, etc).
Oh I love it!! It all goes together so perfectly and kudos on making it look so cozy without being cramped. It's a great space, I can't wait to see those 2 cuties in it.
