I like it but think it is hung too high. Also it draws attention to the AC unit on that wall. Maybe put it on another wall?

I also think it is hung up a tad too high, but I think it works well since the table and chairs are dark. The lamp might be centred so that it is illuminating the painting and creates a layered effect. although the ideal way to do it is to use a spot light. But you don't need to make your house into a museum gallery, so I think you should have some freedom.

I've had a look at free offerings for floor planning software. It depends on the level you want to go to. Sweethome3D http://www.sweethome3d.com/ is truly free because it's open source (no fees if you want to draw more than one plan etc). I've found I can get reasonably detailed with it from layout perspective but I doubt it would be good enough for a drawings for a building permit (although I'm not certain of this). As a graphic designer you'll have an affinity for graphics software. If you want to be able to draw more detailed drawings Id take the time to learn Sketchup. I know some architects use this as their software of choice. I'm definitely with you @Jason Carter - the only way to really control your budget is to plan ahead and choose and price everything that you can think of before you break ground. Otherwise you're in a situation where you have to make quick compromises during the build which leads to mistakes etc. In my work we use requirements tracking tools. I think it would be really helpful to communicate to the contractors exactly what is going to go on in the room - why the extra outlets are there and in the position they're in. That way they have a deeper understanding of why the specs are the way they are and they don't make decisions that detract from the design - they might even come up with suggestions that support the ideas behind the designs.

Positioning of furniture in living room, what do you think?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi, we're trying to figure where the furniture should go in this living room. We would like to place a three seater, two seater and the television as a starting point. There is no fireplace or other focal point in the room. You also have to walk through this room to get to the kitchen so the furniture cannot block this route. There is a deep alcove on the left of the room where we would like to put a small work station with shelves on the wall above the desktop. Would you hang the television on the long wall or put it in the corner opposite the workstation alcove? We could put a three seater under the window but where to place a two seater is a problem. We need more seating than one couch can supply. Any ideas? Thank you

Do I need to sand walls before painting
Q

I'm painting a room a new colour and wondering if I have to sand the entire wall before the undercoat/primer and coats. I've watched videos which talk about the need to fill holes and then sand the wall. Does sanding the wall only refer to the areas around where the filler was used, or do you have to sand the whole wall regardless. Wall has no holes and was previously painted. Can I just go straight to prime and paint?
