Heading down this path ourselves. We have an expanded Gardenia and the Kitchen is wider then normal. So the nook is larger. Currently still in the planning phase as still not happy with a living room used for just a living room. But would like to put a table that could seat 6 in the nook, or one with the ability to expand to 6. Eliminate our dining room set. Beautiful set hand carved in Germany with folding leaves that hide under the table if anyone still wants a dining set that will expand to seat ten. Convert dining room to a seating area with the TV on the back wall so it can be seen from the kitchen. But then we will have a "formal living room"? Not the right solution yet. Maybe make the dining room the TV area and the living room a reading area as we already have a gas fireplace there. Like I said, still planning. Might also like some type of folding table to set up on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Still working on the details before the change begins.
