Also is the piano necessary? Could you sell it to fund the big TV?

Outrageous suggestion! Pianos are so valuable for kids.

@Sheppz - personally I don't like/get the Serif. Looks like a kids chalkboard or an office flipchart/whiteboard, fussy skinny little legs like it'll fall over and it just looks odd. I think TVs look better on something more substantial, but then I don't have a TV at all so maybe not the best judge...

Think @Tenderloin 's idea of painting is a good shout. Pull a wide band of colour up the wall and across the ceiling - so either the wall on left and over the dining table (basically size of table plus seating, although pulling it wider to inc the piano is a possibility), big textile wall hanging instead of giant mirror, and timber tabletop, and you have a much cosier dining space. Or do the opposite wall and bring it across ceiling to the extent of the rug.

Of the two 'zones' which do you want to be more cosy?

yeah piano came with Mrs 🙄 non negotiable - she plays and my boy does too now. Dining bench has been on the agenda- I may go there - it would clean things up visually - might be annoying to use given piano position - is the thing. The table is too big really - was an old conference table from when we had an office on St. John st. In fact the angle poises are office too as are the cesca knockoffs the kids have gradually destroyed.
