[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely.  No problem to get rid of a formal dining area.  Just make sure there's some dedicated dining area that can accommodate a table for ten.[/quote]

I think that is the rub with this house. It just shows a dinette in the kitchen, not a big space for having people over for dinner.

What we did was have the kitchen, then an island that could be closed off if needed (we have never done this, but it looks great--open but doesn't have to be with 9' French doors and shutters that can close over the island) then a large dining area just beyond the kitchen, with pillars separating it from the great room and a sunroom beyond that. Basically, the only place to eat is in the one dining area. I had a table made to seat 10 in comfortable chairs and 12 in party chairs. [/quote]

I am above poster and agree you have to have a space for a large table off the kitchen area if no formal dining room.  We built this into our plan.  I think seating for 8+ is fine.[/quote]
