our new house~ the living and dining areas

Back today to talk about the living and dining areas. The area for a living room/den is very long and narrow in this house, but we will make it work. It already looks completely different than these pictures, which is exciting! Previously, the kitchen was cut off from the den by a wall, that wall is now gone. There was a tiny “hobby/office” room to the immediate right when you walk in the front door. This is where we will demo the wall and the carport enclosure plus this tiny office room will become a bigger playroom/family room. We are using the tile room/sunroom area as our dining space, which leads to our bedroom… a little weird but what can you do?! Anyways, this is what it all looked like when we bought:

Foyer, looking towards front door. Playroom/family room will be where on the left.

The tiny hobby/office...the wall on left is what leads to carport and is what we will knock down.

Living room looking from kitchen. Door to right of fireplace is entrance from carport.

Living room, different view. Wall on left side of picture is already gone and opens up the kitchen to living room, for one big, long open space. The opening to the right leads to what they labeled a "Carolina room". It was basically just an open room in between a bedroom (with a half bath) and the tiled sunroom/dining area. We have closed that wall in on the Carolina room, and that's becoming our master bedroom. The bedroom that had a half bath is being converted to a master bath and closet. The openings on the left lead to the tiled sunroom/dining area.
