Your  living room: the first impression, the meet and         greet area.  Here your guests are welcomed into your home.  Lets  face it this is where we interview our         new guests and determine whether they will be         invited back.  This room can be very formal or         informal whatever your choice.  However,         functionality should be part of the equation.  The         living room has long been determined to be off         limits,  just a place to walk by and look at....the invisible  corded rope.  It is         best to use your entire home, your paying the         mortgage so  why not use every square foot. Consider         making the living room an inviting place for         everyday life, as well as, a place for those special         family events.  It's "ok" go ahead and take the step         to break the living room "velvet rope" persona.
