ellenmillion gave me a great tip on using Photoshop (and GIMP)'s perspective tool, so here's what the rug I'm eying would look like in place...



Yeah... Loving that black with the gold accents. ^_^

Seriously, yeah, I wasn't thinking about cuddling, I was thinking about 'me and two friends watching movies'. In that situation, cupholders give each person a personal space of his or her own.

The beanbag actually came up more with the issue of 'what if I have more than two friends who want to watch something'... I needed auxiliary seating. The fact that it would permit two good friends to sit together is a bonus. Also, it would let girl friends (as compared to girlfriends) decide the level of physical contact they want to allow. Just getting to know each other = sit on the regular sofa without forced snuggliness.

That's very well thought out and makes a lot of sense. :) My little midcentury modern heart just stopped at the cup holders. ^_^;

I was first introduced to the concept of 'home theater' by boingdragon who has a nice little setup! Three recliners, each with cup holders. If I'd never met Boingy, my living room would probably just have a boring regular sofa and coffee table.

The geek version of the coffee table will of course be in the gaming room... I need to decide if I want a coffee table or regular table there.

Regular tables mean you can have all-day gaming with a break for putting away the character sheets and setting down the pot-luck stuff. Coffee table means you can have people sitting on the floor or on a sofa.

I've done it both ways -- the coffee table feels more informal and I kinda like it better, but if you have anyone who doesn't do well with the leaning forward/sitting on floor stuff, you'd want a Real Table.

Also, that rug looks nice in there!

Well, one side will be the futon sofa, so... I wonder if there's a way to engineer a height-adjustable table that will still look good?
