Very wise to wait until you had lived in your rig a year to figure out what changes you really wanted. It took me 3 years of frustration with my dinette to finally do something about it-- I had come very close to tearing the whole thing out (but it would require furnace removal, so a pretty major decision! So I decided on an intermediate mod first (just remove the dinette table and leave the benches/cushions in place). <br /><br />Wow, did that little change really open up the space! I found a comfy, leatherette low-back office chair w/arms that swivels and reclines. The chair fits between the 2 benches and serves not only as a dining/work chair, but it's also quite a comfy recliner for TV watching or reading! I use a folding table as my new dining/work table so it's out of the way when I don't need it. <br /><br />So far, I'm no longer feeling as urgent about removing the rest of the dinette, but who knows-- if you post gorgeous remodel pics showing all your new floor space....I might have to "keep up with the Jones!!"Lynne (WinnieViews)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17043666828785051719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-59432995218088469512012-10-23T11:25:44.118-05:002012-10-23T11:25:44.118-05:00Glad to see you making your space more suitable fo...Glad to see you making your space more suitable for your needs.

I turned mine into a sofa by buying 4in foam the width of a twin bed and folded in half and covered to match the other seats it made the couch less deep so it was more comfortable to sit on. I did keep all the parts so when I sold it they had the option to go back or keep it as a couch.JOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-42219188198069070792012-10-20T17:58:29.910-05:002012-10-20T17:58:29.910-05:00We have a table that has a flip up leaf.

Also thetable has flipped out of place a couple of times when we we in motion. My brother's rig has huge drawers under the benches and they really hold a lot of stuff.

I can fold my jack knife sofa down to do some of them, but still don't get the full range of motion that I'd like to have. I took my dinette out of my RV not too long after I bought it. But in my case, I needed to make room for the dogs crates, so it's now a wall of crates...hmmm, I guess one could say I turned my rig into a zoo! ;-) But I also saved my table as I only took out one bench & left the side wall there to help contain the crates in. I did leave the other dinette seat as I did choose to keep my furnace. My furnace & converter are under that bench. My table is a pole kind, so I can set it back up & take out the crates (would do this for resale). A fold up type of chair would work well in that area if a buyer wanted to keep the dinette area. <br /><br />Can't wait to see how it all turns out!! Space can be a challenge, but I think we can manage to make the best of it with our ideas. <br /><br />I want to put new wallpaper up one day.

If not, I do. If so, well you know how it is. >:-)<br /><br />I am just in awe of your bravery in doing all this remodeling. It really will be your home and perfect for you when everything is just the way you like it. Can't wait to see it. <br /><br />Oh and I'm a dinette rather than a dining room table lover too. I think it's because I'm so short that there are few chairs in which I am comfortable.<br /><br />That said, having room for indoor yoga is a problem for me as well.

My seats are comfortable, but after a while, they get depressed right were I sit, so I flip them over, turn them around, and switch the seats back and forth. They plump back up so I can keep changing them every 4 months or so.<br /><br />Most people hate these dinette seats, though, so I'm not surprised you took yours out. Your plan is going to be perfect for you when you're done. Quite a project to do yourself - you go, girl! I'm looking forward to the finished photos.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2292333714015045003.post-29244635723937223282012-10-20T10:42:54.904-05:002012-10-20T10:42:54.904-05:00I really don't like those dinette booth thingi...I really don't like those dinette booth thingies. If we ever get our small travel trailer, that will probably be the first thing we do. Get rid of it. All it is is a junk holder for me. We have chairs and a table and right at the moment I can't see the table for the stuff on it. I'm excited to see your "after" pictures. It sounds like it is really going to work well for you.
