Incidentally, I saw this in a real estate book here and it's what I'd LOVE our lounge to look like!! It's not that different, except it's a LOT lighter, has lighter and less squashed furniture, and the lounge is sunken down from the kitchen (which I LOVE), as well as having the lounge / couch area further down past the kitchen bit, whereas our lounge is right opposite the kitchen, and we don't have that extra area at the end, or the bit that's sort of going off camera to the right. But the kitchen and lounge are in the same place...
