Words to describe rooms of your house? I say hall instead of foyer (pronounced foyer rather than foryeah). We have a living room not a great room or parlor or French room. Our casual eating space we call a breakfast room although other meals are eaten there (I saw a floor plan form the 20s that called it a breakfast porch and that describes our room better I think). It's a guest room not a spare room nor daughter's bedroom And our bedroom is a master not the principal or main. What words do you use to describe the different rooms in your house? Martha | ||

Entryway Living room (We don't have a dining room, just a kitchen with a table). Mommy and Daddy's bedroom... No master anyway.  And, the kicker is our "Man Room." My DH started calling it that after he added a large TV and stuff, 4 years before the twins were born. Now my daughter finds that wrong and calls it "family room," but it's really like a second living room. I have no idea. I can't stop calling it the "Man Room" after all these years, even though it is not all manly, and my son's legos are down there! | |||

Living room sitting room dining room kitchen blue room (this is the old kitchen and the space we usually eat in. We call it "blue" a/c floor and most of my blue and white china is here) my room DH's room guest room DH's studio side hall back hall We have no entry in front. You come right into l.r. We also have sleeping spaces in attic for DGK's but still just call it attic. Cellar we call either "my side" or "your side" as we have it roughly divided that way. Sewing/crafts/laundry/storage in front is mine. Tools/kiln/workshops/storage in back is his.This message has been edited. Last edited by: lady of shallot,  | ||||

First Floor: Front Hall (there's no back hall LOL) Living Room Dining Room Family Room Kitchen Breakfast Room Morning Room (same size and adjoins family room decorated in similar way) Powder Room Basement 2nd Floor Our room (master bedroom***) Dressing Room Pink BR Corner BR Grandmother's** BR Great-Great Grandfather's** BR Box Room (a small bedroom I use for storage) The bathrooms are described as 1) husband's bathroom 2) hall bathroom 3) back bathroom Note:*** I personally DETEST the term "master br" for some peculiar reason. The bedrooms at the back of the house are called by my ancestor's names because the beds in those rooms belonged to my beloved Grandmother and my GG Grandfather.This message has been edited.

For this house, it's easy. There's the living room, dining room, kitchen, hall, my room, Donnie's room, bath, laundry room. No parlors, foyers, libraries, or sewing rooms and a lot less house cleaning. Christie | ||||

I have the standard kitchen, dining room, living room, hall, "my" bathroom, "his" bathroom, our bedroom, and I still call the kid's bedrooms by their name. Son's BR has been converted to office; I usually say the office, but sometimes still say "____"'s room. The spare room is still called "_____"'s room. We converted a tiny carport into a nice patio at least 20 years ago, and I still say "carport" half the time. Old habits are hard to break. | ||||
