This is the connecting room between the living room and the kitchen, we affectionatly call it "the fireplace room." We like to move the rocking chairs here in the winter--it is a great place to spend a chilly night by the fire. Our favorite is on New Year's Eve--this is the perfect spot for hot cider, and making s'mores--YUM!! It would be a nice formal dining room, family room, home office, den, or library.
