We chose to upgrade the formal living room by adding a wall between that room and the dining room and adding a set of french doors to enter the room. While I really like the idea of a formal sitting area, it had the potential to never be used and we thought a designated office area would be more practical instead of sacrificing one of the upstairs bedrooms. This room is the only room downstairs we chose to leave carpeted (we would have loved wood but we had to draw the line somewhere as we priced out upgrade options). The room could also make a great enclosed playroom area. Here are some pictures from the model:
