when we first moved here, I seriously considered using our dining room, as we have our meals on our sunporch and use the dining room once or twice a year. The reason I haven't done that is because of the beautiful china, teacups, silver, and lamps that I've inherited. I love them. Where would I put those things? So I stay in the corner of our bedroom.
I would love to take over our family room, but we'd have to move the television into our living room and my husband Hates that idea. Right now, our living room is a quiet restful place and we spend time reading and playing with the grandchildren in there.
I have a big enough house. Just don't know which room to sacrifice. :-)
