Organizing the Living room! I have recently changed the way we used our living room. When ever we have company we always seem to end up in the kitchen or the summer porch..so I got rid of my living room! Now it is my dining room and computer area. It makes my kitchen L-shaped. 18 by 18 and the L shapes area is 10 by 12. Across from my dining area is my computer room, 12x8. Blocked from the kitchen view. My kitchen used to flow into the living room..like a great room...my LR was always full of newspapers, glasses, pizza boxes..you get the picture..now our living room is in what I call the walkthru room...it is in a little alcove with a hallway down one side. In there I have a loveseat, endtables, easy chair and TV with 3 large bookcases form floor to ceiling! It has worked out great! Now if the TV room is cluttered it is not the first thing you see when you enter my house.
Not too many people come over to watch TV so why does it have to be the room you visit in?
