I found that our great room/family room is perfect enough and that a library was more needed, so we never really used that room for a formal living room ever since we moved to the house!Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773306289780386909.post-61581088653571178362013-10-21T09:41:34.651-04:002013-10-21T09:41:34.651-04:00Ours is a pass through room in our very small hous...Ours is a pass through room in our very small house (under 1,000 square feet). I think we've used it twice for big family meals. Our little family of three eats in our cozy breakfast nook. Just a couple of weeks ago I finally turned the dining room into my sewing room. I always end up sewing there anyway. And if we have a large family dinner that we need the table I can move my sewing stuff and put it all away on my new bookshelves and we have the large table back. It's a win win. Where it's situated lets me keep an eye on my three year old (and he now joins me at the table to color and draw and play with cars while I"m sewing or working on my computer there). It was all a question of best use of space for our needs. We don't NEED a formal dining room. But I needed a place to sew that was all mine.Kathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03078520347422991774noreply@blogger.com
