My revision based on the new pix. Still like the idea of a round foyer table in the large hallway. The dining area definitely needs to be moved near the kitchen where the tufted chairs and doors are. I'd anchor it with a rug that is at least 4 feet wider and longer than the table. It appears the tufted chairs have a matching sofa. I'm revising my 4-chair suggestion for the FP now, and suggest the sofa facing it and the two chairs between the FP and sofa facing the dining space which is now out in front of the kitchen door. Anchor that seating with its own large rug. In the end where the draperies are I'd use the two sofas facing each placed perpendicular to the windows, each 18" from the coffee table. The chairs can go at either end of the coffee table, one near the windows and the other with its back to the open room to form a closed conversational grouping. Loosen the drapes and let them fall loosely. Once the arrangement is worked out, we can tackle painting, if you want.

I have tried to enlarge your plans but they become to blurry to read.....Is there anyway that you can post a larger jpeg?

OK... but the wire wont be lower as it is fixed now. The wire in the pics below is the wall facing each other. They were leveled on equal height but the beam on one wall makes it seem a little above. But i think you guys are absolutely right that up and down lights wont look good there. I think you are right about down lights lessismoore. Would it look good if i go with two different lights on opposite walls??? it would look odd right.

For the dining room, I think I'd orient the table 90 degrees from how it's drawn, and I would make it a drop leaf or gateleg table so that it can be made smaller when not being used for dining. I would embrace the idea that the entry is right in the middle of the living room, and bring the living room furniture out towards the fireplace so the fireplace is connected to the seating area. Maybe TV above fireplace. In that back corner where the sofa is drawn, I'd make that a small work/office space.
