distance from dining room to kitchen.

14 years ago

Just curious about what everyone thinks about this.

We have an old farmhouse and wanted to have the dining room in a bigger room. This would mean moving the dining room to the formal living room (never use this room). However, you would have to walk through the family room to get from the kitchen to the dining room. We do have an eat in kitchen but it isn't big enough for when family visits and the holidays.

The house has no hallways so the front room would be the dining room, the middle room would be the family room and the next room the kitchen. The last room is currently the dining room/mudroom but is a bit too small for the dining table and it is too tight.

When you enter the house you enter an enclosed porch then there are french doors (which go to the formal living room right now or the dining room if we move it)

The living room is about 17 feet long so we would have to walk about that distance from the kitchen to the dining room table but it is a straight shot. No weaving through furniture.

Also we do have a baby so I thought it would be easier to see her in the family room while I make dinner if the family room is next to the kitchen (which is one reason we don't want to move the family room to the front of the house and make the current family room the dining room)

Hope that makes sense. I am interested in everyone's opinions. I am not sure what to do.

thanks,

renee
