BEFORE. . .I love Pottery Barn! However, I do not love the price! So, I met a man from Oklahoma that can build Potter Barn knockoff for a fraction of the price. I had him build these cubbies 2.5 years ago when we moved in this house. This wall has housed the cubbies all this time. Check out the picture below to see the AFTER of this wall. . .
AFTER. . .We found this all leather couch at Pier 1 to go on this wall and I found a few more game boards at our local biannual Barn Sale. We lacked seating in this room until now. The next picture below shows the BEFORE picture of the wall directly across from the new couch.
BEFORE. . .So, before this wall housed an entertainment center we bought early on in our marriage. It's been a good old faithful, but we have been ready for a change for quite some time. Check out the after of this wall below. . . 
AFTER. . .So, after moving our old faithful entertainment center out, we moved the cubbies to that wall and reconfigured them for a flat screen T.V. to hang on the wall. I bet you were wondering if I had moved the cubbies out for good. . . nope. . . kept those multipurpose little friends! They have a lot of life left to give us over then next several years!
After our transformation of those two walls, I took some croquet sticks I had laying around and mounted them above the window in there. 
Last spring we finally got rid of our 1st couch we ever bought and got these two chairs. The ladder over in the right corner is still on the bubble. I haven't decided to hang it, leave it like that, or pull it out of the room. What do you think about the ladder? This is one of my favorite rooms in the house because it is for my kids! I love all the old game boards I have found! What is your favorite game to play?

It all looks really good! I'm glad it finally came together. I like the ladder. It just looks a little lonely there. Could you hang it on the wall. Maybe horizontally somewhere? Or make it lean against the cubbies? Or put it on one side of the window?
The room looks great! I like the ladder, too. Your collections are perfect for that room.
We have the exact same armoire and I still love it. I just told my husband its about to be obsolete when flat screens are the only option. (We might need to buy those corner shelf pieces from 'ya.)
I love this room too! These pictures just don't even do it justice. It has so much character and lots of textures with ll the antique games. The new arrangement is fabulous.
I love what you did! Love the cubbies!
But I do have to laugh at one part. You said "I used these croquet sticks I had lying around."...I don't know anyone else in the world who has croquet sticks just "lying around". Were they doorstops or paperweights before? LOL
