Love it! That rug is great. I wish I had gas fireplaces with no hearths; it makes for such a better footprint in the room. (Although really I'd rather not have the fireplaces at all because even if they were gas we'd still never use them, and it would make furniture placement better.)

I go back and forth on that. I really like our wood fire place, and we use it a lot...but our long, slim living room allows for little furniture options. We wouldn't get *that* much more space if we removed the fire place, but enough to comfortably fit a sectional, without cutting the room off since it's open to the stairs.
It turned out so good! I love it! I want a shot of what you did with that back wall. Is that a bench? Storage?
Just a bench that we had in the basement. I’m leaning toward creating a built in desk for the kids to do home work at, but I’ve got a year or two yet before I really need to worry about that, so I’m just leaving it be for now.
