I say go for it!!!
Hubs & I do not entertain at all. In fact we have
no furniture, except for a dinette stable with 4 chairs
that is almost in the center of the living room.
Our living room has my desk set up as well as my hubs.
The dining room is my sewing room, and now that my
youngest daughter left for college in June well I took
her room and turned it into my "fabric & cutting" room.
We live in a small 850sq ft condo.
