The room today
The living room connects to the dining area, with wood-look plank flooring, no rug, and bare light walls, including behind the white sectional sofa. A low dark media console sits under the TV, and two light armchairs stand in front of the sliding door. The door has vertical blinds; the dining window has horizontal blinds. Lighting comes from round ceiling fixtures, an arched floor lamp, and the dining chandelier.
