Small House Dining and Living Room Unveil
Our early 1950's one-story Ranch-style home has an open floor plan so that the kitchen opens into the dining room the dining room into the living room and soon. I feel that this plan makes our space feel larger even in our modest 2,000 sq. ft. space.
I really like that our kitchen opens to our living area and our dining and living rooms combine into a single large gathering space where family members and guests can gather. This fosters togetherness, increases our options for entertaining and I can continue cooking in the kitchen and still be a part of the action. I think this gives us a look and a feel generally found in much larger homes.
Because our home is one story and set up for our future aging process with linoleum flooring that might someday assist in wheelchair mobility, this openness works well for us. This plan also allows us to maximize space in a smaller size home too.

Our leather and paisley couch and area rug in the foreground of this photo divides the living space from the dining room.

I'm standing in the bedroom end of our home under the arch that separates the living from sleeping areas.
I'm standing behind the leather chair and ottoman in the corner to take this photo of our rustic Indiana Limestone fireplace.
The end of our living room space features a family china hutch filled with blue and white dishes and comfortable furniture.
