I think the one with metal legs would be best. You could use a rug to help break up the "too much wood" look.

Having done exactly that as a job for my wife when she ran Bagpuss Antiques Furniture Restoration, i can tell you that if you were to go down to two drawers, then the job is not as complicated as you many think. Yes, it involves taking the top and bottom away and re-finishing the edges ( hard to tell what the finish is in the pics ), Then re-assembling it and finishing to match. That would have been around the £160-£200 mark. However if you want it custom fitting to go into the alcove without any gaps, then the middle drawer would be the best one to change the size of, that would involve a further £40-60. So, hope that gives you a good idea of price. I still make furniture for customers as we continue to get enquiries as there just aren't many people around doing that sort of thing anymore, however, a carpenter would be able to help you most probably, it's just finishing to match that requires a bit of all round knowledge.

Rebecca thanks for the help! Kinorigo looks amazing. They have a black and white dining table that is just beautiful. Would be great if they also did that as a coffee table. They only offer a bespoke service? Sound a bit scary! Can you pm me a price estimate if you've had something similar previously? I'm currently torn between the Platner, the pedrera by gubi and the 'my moon' table my morose!! The gubi is probably my favourite just because of its classic simplicity but it might get a bit lost.

We do spend a lot of time puzzling over how to use the space as it is, as well as how to change it to suit us better.. typical victorian house with kitchen stuck out the back and it is cold and dark, i have seen lots of articles here of similar where people have really opened up the back of the house so it becomes the heart of the home and also opens up to the garden. But we have become paralysed with all the options and the potential cost especially as this house being older and not particularly well maintained previously keeps throwing up extra costs.. new roof, windows and the garage is falling down next on our hit list!!! My partner does have a little desk upstairs in a spare room where he has been working the last few months but wouldn't use after the toddler has gone to bed as she is a light sleeper... and he has been muttering about putting one in the storage room but I know no-one would want to use it as it is a small dark room that gets really very cold in winter and also smells a bit(! we need to get to the bottom of that!!). ive puzzled over fitting one into thr living room too but its an awkward shape and no obvious place for it unless we really think about repurposing it. He is very protective over "his" snug and I suspect whatever we do he will continue to hunch over his laptop on the sofa in there if i don't make the space more fit for the purpose he is using it for. After I posted I did think actually the simplest thing is just to put a tv in there somehow and a little side sofa table thing that would be the right height for using his laptop but I still worry about his back sitting on the sofa for so long . He is quite resistant to change though so I need to make sure I go in with a good proposal! Also we need to find a space elsewhere in the house for my old piano which fits perfectly in the alcove in the snug but stops us using it for anything else... the problem we find with this house and the reason we don't have many cupboards is that every wall seems to be either a door, a radiator or a sloping roof. The obvious thing is maybe to get rid of it, i think we are secretly harbouring ambitions of our daughter growing up to be a better player than either of us which is i guess a pipe dream! I am gradually spending the time to declutter and reorganise which is really helping to think about the space better.. with less stuff we need less storage and i can learn to like this house a bit better! I was finding it frustrating I used to live in a tiny 2 bed house with more storage cupboards but now realise that encouraged me to accumulate more stuff!!! Anyway I think you are all right with the idea we need to use our house differently, i just think it needs a complete remodel! All thoughts gratefully received for temporary fixes and the master plan!

Oh I like your yellow sofa, the shape is really classic. I also like the fabric. It sits well in your space. I would look for an antique or vintage piece for your TV. Can I ask, does the TV need to be in this room? So many lovely features in there, to have a TV somehow seems a shame. We have a similar room here and have kept it as a sitting room/dining space, with a TV room separately. You could have a wonderful drawing room with a large mirror above the fire, persian rug, antique tables with lamps on. Would be wonderful. Will dig out pics
