While we were in Shipshewana (see Amish Country blog) we stopped by a furniture store called Comfort Design. Our friends Brock and Leola had a recliner from there that we liked. When we decided to rearrange our living room slide, we decided to get a similar swivel, wall hugger recliner for ourselves.
First we cleared out the clutter--meaning all of my puzzle books, markers, and pencils.
Brock and Leola's grandson was glad to get good used recliners and an adjustable end table for his basement man cave.
With the recliners removed, the space somehow seemed much smaller!
The result of our efforts is that now we have a dining area (which doubles as my sewing/jigsaw puzzle space) and comfortable place to sit to watch tv, use a phone, or read. All of my puzzle books and markers fit quite nicely in that skinny little table, leaving the aisle way clear even when the recliner is extended.
The card table chairs are temporary. We are shopping for comfortable chairs suitable for eating or playing table games and for sitting around visiting.

This arrangement may seem a little weird, but so far it's working for us.
Rainy today, we'll see what tomorrow brings.
