Informal Dining Space

January 17, 2016 by House of Funk Leave a Comment

We love the unexpected…  Like this refined, yet cozy eat-in kitchen full of vintage finds and reclaimed resources.

In this case, there’s a beautiful dining room just around the corner.  But if sit-down dinner parties aren’t your style, why should you devote an entire room in your home to entertaining this way?  From ping-pong to pool to shuffle board tables, we’re turning these once formal spaces into destination rooms where the whole family wants to spend time.

Or, as we did above, ditch the separate dining room entirely by expanding your kitchen to include informal dining space for all of the gathering, dining, working and living that already happens there.

Please share this with someone who could use a nudge towards making those first floor rooms more useful.
