It's really great to feel like there is a space that typically stays clean, where many people can sit and enjoy themselves, adding a little "planned specialness" to meals with just the two of you!Sabrena Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17471446509492238420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039672094934630798.post-72379211196427056322011-10-18T10:14:51.461-04:002011-10-18T10:14:51.461-04:00I think that it's wonderful!

I also think that it shows a characteristic of a Godly woman/ couple. Hospitality. It shows that you want to have guests in your home, and to treat them well. It's becoming a lost art! So, while your guests will probably hang with you in the kitchen while you cook, (and if your friends and family are like mine, after to help clean up) The actual meal will be eaten in a clean space! I think that you will never regret taking a space that was less important to you and making it into something that you really wanted and will use!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722008736918235757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9039672094934630798.post-39017248255891477922011-10-17T23:32:34.094-04:002011-10-17T23:32:34.094-04:00woot woot!! that's an AWESOME change!!

We can't do anything like this in our townhome, so I'll live vicariously through you.<br /><br />Would we have made the same move? Hrm. We are both big computer nerds, and currently have our family room as a large office/library. So I'm not sure we would have given up an office if there wasn't another room we could use as one.<br /><br />We've learned that our friends tend to hang around the kitchen all the time while visiting. But that could be a MN thing =)<br /><br />In the end, you are happy, you can get some good use out of the new room...so great! Plus you do have a lot of room downstairs still should you need another room for something else.Celestialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970521957631466928noreply@blogger.com
