The omission of "that"
I know that the word, "that" is commonly omitted. But what about in the following phrase?
"The mansion is lavishly furnished with a living room big enough for a swimming pool"
I normally add the term that's or that is after a noun and before an adjective like room and big. But is it actually possible to omit these terms as well?
Thank you
