Formal living room and dining room

[CeaBee]

to me...just a waste of space [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I'm trying to think of an alternate use for these rooms [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70402-thinking.gif[/img]

suggestions?

Re: Formal living room and dining room

about 10 by 12 each i think...unfortunately they are the rooms that you first see when you enter thru the front door: living room on one side, dining room on the other and a hall leading to the family room in the middle.

Re: Formal living room and dining room

It too "open up" fi turn into retreat....too easy fi di pickney dem fi spot mi [img]/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

don't think they could be turned into bedrooms, too small and not enclosed...di pickney dem already have bedroom upstairs- even though them insist on sharing one.

I like the library idea..but then I would actually have to have books and at this point, all that I have are actually borrowed from the library.

so this mean mi actually gwine have to buy formal furniture... [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]...me juss not a "formal" kinda person...

Re: Formal living room and dining room

how about after them go to bed? they go to bed round 7:30P right? (my goal but it seems them push it fi a next hour).

what about turning the dining room into a moroccan type dining room.. low table with pillows.... Scratch dat idea as you will be picking up pillows all day if your boys are active


ok.. a reading room fi one room with wall to ceiling book cases and a ladder (scratch the ladder - you have boys) and a home office fi de next one.. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/70402-thinking.gif[/img]
