oooooh, didn't think about rectangle parallel! Thank you!

Hi lell-

I do not favor round tables because when you want to expand them, you end up with a lot of dead space in the middle of the table in which it is is hard to pass things across without a lazy susan. And I am not sure I want that. Furthermore, the diameter of the table ends up getting quite large and makes it difficult for people to talk to each other across that distance.

I favor rectangles, and you can get a table with leaves for when you want to add people, and you can get extra chairs too.

Question though, is that area really the dining area?

It seems odd that one would have to carry the food through the living room to get to the dining area.

Isn't there a dining area closer to the kitchen?

Good points on the round table. Yes, it is a little odd but that is definitely the dining area, there is a breakfast nook area in the kitchen

Yes, Lell, you are correct!

Well, there would be no way at this stage of my life I could safely carry a 20+ lb bird that distance.

I really wonder about the people that design these houses.

Haha! Same on the design, but, we do love the view :)
