Zephyrian's Profile

I recommend leaving the hall way wall up - and taking the living room (towards the bedroom) wall down. Having just a wide open floating space can present it's own dilemma, but if you leave one wall up you create a sort of area inside an area. You could put a desk hutch for your computer, a little reading nook with a bookshelf, chair and lamp or cozy chatting area with games and magazines. This would be a relatively inexpensive, easy DIY project, and leave you with an open but usable space.
