We ate out quite a lot ..I used to take the kids out when they were babies..breast feeding in the corner ..they grew up eating out so know how to behave ..not so some kids I know..no manners ..putting bones on tablecloth instead of a plate..slurping ..stuffing their faces..food dropped everywhere.. I must be old too..I'm cranky as ..if my kids can behave then I expect the same from others..

We built our house in 1975 and had a similar problem; A teeny tiny family room with too many doors. After several years of squeezing ourselves into this poorly functioning excuse of a "family" room, which has entrances in every corner bar one, plus an entry into the kitchen and sliding door to outside, in a fit of frustration, I decided that our under-utilised formal lounge/dining would be used as a living room with the TV, although we chose to keep the dining table in that room as it is a long narrow room. I made this change 26 years ago. The family room is now just a sitting area with one 2.5 seater couch and a side table at each end, no TV and is a great space for a few people to congregate in to keep the cook company or just to read. However it would have worked equally well with the dining table there. In any case, because of all the doorways, it is really just a walk-through area, but now feels spacious and "settled" instead of crowded and messy. I can recommend the change.....you will feel much less at "sixes and sevens" with your home.

These are 2 designs of modular sofas from Berkowitz I've been considering. Any other suggestions? What about Fanuli - anyone had an experience with this brand?
