'House This for a Start?

After talking with Jerid the other day, I realized that I have not yet shown any pictures which would give you any indication of the kind of house I am currently living in. Today's set starts us off in the, well, the Empty room. Our floor plan is kind of funky (maybe I'll APS a blueprint later) but, briefly, the front door and entry way opens into this 16'x 16' room. I might be ok calling it the living room, if we did not in fact have a large area on the other side of the fireplace where my TV and couches are. Call it what you want, I won't judge you.

Even after 6 months, we're still at a loss as what to do with the damn thing. Right now I'm using it as storage. Ideas that have been tossed around include a full corner bar, pool table, and, conveniently, nothing. Perhaps you have a suggestion?

Oh yeah, do you like how low our fence sits? Yeah, me neither. Although it is nice to know that that someone else on our block does the dishes...
