favorite room?

Do you have a favorite room in your house? Mine is my kitchen. I love to cook and love to bake, so I spend a LOT of time in this room. It's probably the most important feature (for me) when looking at a house.  If I can't picture myself working in the kitchen, then no matter what the rest of the house is like, I can't see myself in it.

We have lived in our house for 8 years, and while we STILL need to take down the horrible wallpaper border that outlines the walls, and it needs a good coat of paint - I still love it.  There are a few things I would change (the above noted, and I would also like to extend our counter and get rid of the kitchen table, but hubby and I have differing opinions on that)....

So, do you have a favorite room? is there a reason, or just a room you like?

  1. Kitchen and living room. Kitchen because that's where I create magic with my mad culinary techniques. LOL! It's a place I spend a lot of time in and where people gather and share a meal. It's a special place. Living room because it's where we go to relax as a family and spend some quite family time together.

  2. Tough question, there are so many great spaces in our 1920's Heritage home (We bought is from my grandparents before my grandpa passed away). I love our covered front porch, I love the window seats in my kitchen, and I especially love the new family room that is being built...can't wait for it to be done so I can cozy up with a great book in front of the fireplace.

  3. Hmm, that is a tough question. I'd say the living room as it's the place we spend the most time.

  4. Mine is my kitchen too! It seems whenever we have family over, guests, parties, everyone gravitates to the kitchen, lol. When I'm not hosting, cooking or baking I love to dance in my kitchen with my kiddos or sometimes by myself!

  5. I love the kitchen, but the livingroom as well because we spend the most time in there as a family :)

  6. I used to have a single favorite room until we bought our new home nearly 2 years ago. Now I simply love our entire home. The Kitchen and living room because it open into each other and is great for entertaining and spacious for cooking. The bonus room because it's where we relax at night, my office because I have one and our master bath because of the giant soaker tub. LOL I use every inch of my home every day and fell in love the moment I saw it :)

  7. I'd say our entire main floor since we took down some walls and opened it right up a few years ago. Before that it was boxy with small rooms. We also added some more windows when we did the renovations so it's just a brighter more inviting space now.

  9. My favourite room to BE in is probably my bedroom. My favourite room to CLEAN though has always been the bathroom. I much prefer cleaning surfaces than going through tons and tons of clutter to figure out where it goes. We need a bedroom makeover though, at least you have wall paper. I have ugly walls dotted with drywall compound!
