[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fell in love with a house that has everything....except an eat-in kitchen. It has a nice wide galley kitchen with pretty windows and ample space, so I like the kitchen itself, but it opens to the formal dining room (and not an open floor plan with an island...its a more traditional. colonial layout).

The living room is across the main hallway. It's big. I'm halfway wondering if I could put the formal dining table in the living room and squeeze the living room furniture in a tighter formation so they share that space.

Then, in the dining room, I'd instead put a kitchen table and small couch to make it a more informal hangout space and have our informal meals there.

But if I can't do that, will I regret this floorplan? I just worry the kitchen will be tucked away from where everyone is hanging out, if it stays like it's planned. [/quote]

I had a place like that. We made the dining room more casual, like you are suggesting, so that the flow between the kitchen and the dining room would be natural. It actually worked very well, because it kept people from getting in the way in the kitchen, but it was so easy to talk to everyone because everyone could see each other easily.[/quote]
