Also love the red wallpaper! Beautiful home. Gives me lots of ideas for our home, which is old as well. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hello! Your home is beautiful. I grew up in Chester County, PA, and love the old homes found all over the Philadelphia area.

After studying the photos you've shared, and taking the measurements into account as well, it is clear that this is indeed a difficult space! It may be what was once called a "keeping room" or "hearth room."

Here's what came to mind . . .

What about placing a backless daybed/chaise lounge in front of the fireplace? It would be a very cozy spot to curl up with a book. Here's a few inspiration images: http://pinterest.com/pin/101542166570289638/ and http://pinterest.com/pin/101542166570289629/ . You said you liked the Margot loveseat from Crate & Barrel -- what about the Simone Daybed instead? http://www.crateandbarrel.com/simone-daybed/s165843

In the corner with the radiator, what about a built-in design such as this? http://pinterest.com/pin/101542166570289724/

Lastly, if you still want seating for two people, perhaps two arm chairs across from each other would work, similar to this: http://pinterest.com/pin/101542166570289811/

Hope this is helpful! Good luck!

Love this! Mural is awesome. Door knob too. Those curtains are some of my favorites as well!

I also kind of love that crazy green-and-white guest room wallpaper! Consider keeping it!
I think it reminds me of the New Jersey beach house I grew up vacationing in. :)

Where did you get wallpaper for cheap? Love the fireplace wall. I'm also a little confused by the expensive Anthropologie hanging chair -- did you buy it secondhand? Beautiful home!

So disappointed. Please remove this post. I just submitted photos of my toddler's room for the Family section. Now I wish I hadn't. Yuck.

Love the red dresser and the colorful changing pad cover and little shelf overhead. Cute changing station!

Love the DIY wardrobe! So creative. The wrapping paper in the back is gorgeous. Love the entire color scheme of the room too. Beautiful!

How fun to see that some of you have also lived in DeKalb, Illinois! We lived there for three years, near Littlejohn Elementary. My husband had the sign since he was a kid. We've spotted them in lots of other random places, too!

There's a window right beside the moose and clock, so the placement just seemed fun to us. And for some reason the clock always makes me think of a moon hanging there!

Thanks for offering feedback!
