49. "The useless living room"

Yeah, we have one of those. 3,400 square feet and there's two of us. It was a steal at the time. But there's like an entire half of the ground floor that neither of us nor company uses. Everyone congregates where the TV is. I think I can count on two hands the number of times I've actually gone in there and sat down in the past four years. We have bamboo floors, and I keep joking one day I'll turn it into a roller rink.

I agree with you about the white rooms and pointless space. I imagine the builders designed it that way so it would be easily customizable. I have so many questions about how that house is staged. Why is there a pseudo-desk in the sitting room like they're about to subject guests to impromptu job interviews?

Agree about the pantry situation. My kitchen has a separate walk-in under the stairs. And it's just like . . . what did I ever do without a pantry? Stuff food in the cabinets basically. So nice to have everything in one place. Agree about the stove. I do not like bending while cooking. Feels weird. Was going to make fun of the wine fridge in the kitchen. Like, why? We have one built into a wet bar (because Napa) that we never use. But using kitchen space for it seems so odd.
