It's a few different sorts here:I'm actually pretty happy with our common areas because they are small. We're not typical...our guests don't want to hang with others.
If I had a lot of money, I would want 1 more common area room that I could use for special functions, meetings, etc..Your guests are like 99% of our guests, they don't want to hang with others at all. The only folks who do are those who bring instruments and pick on the porch, then it is more fun with a group gathered to listen, chat, play or whatever...Breakfast Diva said:I'm actually pretty happy with our common areas because they are small.

All kinds of reasons why someone is using the living room. I wish for a larger one like muirford's so groups could spread out a bit. There could be multiple groups at once or larger family groups could just sit without going and getting dining room chairs.
- Social butterflies, they want to meet other people
- They're using the computer
- They came in a group and they want to have drinks together
- Spouse is resting and they want to read
- Spouse is watching TV and they want to read
- Kid is napping and they just want some down time from watching the kid
- Maybe the living room chair is more comfortable than in their room
- They don't have a TV in their room so they come downstairs to catch the news

We are lucky to have a large living room that allows that, and I have it arranged into three seating areas. We also have a library with just two chairs and the computer and a big back porch that we re-did this spring that handles 8 comfortably and you can squeeze a few more. We have a nice big backyard, too, but folks prefer the porch.Madeleine said:I wish for a larger one like muirford's so groups could spread out a bit.

I wish we had one big dining room instead of two, because we can never do any kinds of meetings here and it would be awkward to have individual tables.
