At our old place the TV was in the living room so we were in there all the time. At our new place we have a "family room" and the TV is in there. As far as I can tell, the living room at our new place is just a museum for pointless furniture.

Remove the furniture and install a stripper pole in that room. When the wife stares at you just tell her it wasn't being used anyways.

I had a house like that once.

Got rid of it, moved in-town, now we have a florida room and a smaller living room, open concept. Throw all the doors open for small parties, close the doors to get kids and adults some private space. Works fine.

A separate living room is pretty much only useful if you throw larger parties regularly and need some separate space for guests to mingle into.

Our common area space is an open concept. No walls between the kitchen, living room and dining room.

separate living areas are nice when you have parties. We actually put a big screen and a bunch of game boxes in ours, so that tells you what kind of parties we are having the most.

So in this scenario your living room is analogous to your brain?

I usually only walk thru my living room if I have someone new visiting and they don't realize everyone uses the side door by the garage that goes into the kitchen....because that's where I'll be anyway unless I'm asleep.

I sat on my couch for the first time since I bought the place just last week. It was weird. Nice looking couch, but not very comfortable.

WTF is the difference between a living room and a family room? Arn't those the same thing?

Since you aren't using your living room - I think you should let some homeless people or OWS people use it.
