| This space is currently empty(end od hall/room) I was thinking of adding a small buffet or tea cart with some items for drinking and dining as there are french doors to the left that open onto a terrace with chairs, table and bbq.
My question is, should I go to the trouble or leave it empty. Or does anyone have any other suggestions? TIA!

| I would leave the area empty, if that is you only concern. I will keep the paintings on the wall since it will give an impression of the owner's care. JMO. |

| Can you post a photo that shows the area in context with the french doors? it's hard to see exactly how big it is and whether the furniture might be in the way. |

| I am not in Seattle but will be going soon (boyfriend's house). Here is a vide of of the house if you want to see what is going on. You have to be signed in to your facebook account if you have one. Its a really cool home with a lot of interesting features. This was taken years ago and its only 90% complete. Let me know any of your thoughts in general. I will be staging and moving things around. Thanks! |

| Here, I snipped from your video to show a different view: I think I would put a comfy chair in the corner with a floor lamp, maybe stage it as a reading nook. |

| Perfect reading nook. Same as Weedy wrote. Jane |

| Thanks Jane and wanj for the advice. Weedy..thanks so much for doing that!! |

| Having just gone through the decluttering, staging and ultimately selling of my house, I had to say that I discovered that there were areas of my house that actually looked smaller when they were empty, than when they had a few (note I said FEW) pieces of furniture or decorative accents in them. And unfortunately, I find that there are a lot of people who simply don't have the imagination to 'see' what can be done in a specific space. That adorable little area could very easily be perceived as just a sort of hallway to the French Doors. I'd definitely put something small in that area. Nothing big or overstuffed. Maybe a nice delicate rocker--just to suggest that it actually is large enough for furniture. |

| I love the idea of a reading nook. Another thought would be a small place for doing a puzzle or game. I agree with azzalea that you want to keep the furniture small. |

| Thanks everyone! A small reading nook it is! |
