If you think the Chinese vase at the base of the table may be valuable, you should take it (or the photos of it) to a reliable art and antiques appraiser in your area. You aren't likely to get a reliable appraisal on line.

i have a feeling there is a distinct reason for the maid kitchen. thanks celerygirl for the def on a puja room. I don't think we should mess with that either. I like the drawing room. it is contained and allows your company to see exactly what you want them to see. If we are allowed to rearrange rooms, I would move the LR up toward the foyer, then use the current spot as the sitting room or library. I also do not like where the public bathroom is (too many spy novels I guess) I would rather it be closer to the public rooms and not you have to go past both bedrooms to get there. Or maybe, since they are both like master bedrooms have the c and the m open on your new sittingroom/libary? but if you move the living room up, everyone wont be walking through your dining room.

Hi Nikita, First and farmost, you have very beautifull coushion on sofa, from where you buy it? You can check the videos of Small budget Big makover first session series in youtube. In One such house in Gujarat, Muninder and Bishakha coloured the old sofa set with whtie (The sofa is like yours) and changed the centre table. Interestingly, the family also had your kind of sofa set and they also want some modern style. The architect duo did not changed the sofa, just changed the colour. Yes I found it in youtube. it is the house of Setu Upadhyay. the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85GNhyLeVnM Another suggestion is that you have many tables on the room. You can drop few chairs and opt for a single centre table

Hey Shaku, so the idea of having a former is to provide privacy, so that who ever is entering cannot directly see into the entire home. if you're okay with one of the bedrooms being right at the entrance (which will be visible to whoever is standing outside the main door because of the window) then I'd suggest go for the second one. As Nitin mentioned, it allows you to have slightly larger bedroom and living room areas. in case you want to add a foyer in the first plan, you can place a partition behind the sofa on the left, it will restrict the size of the room visually, but you can compensate by using vertical lines
