That's funny, every homeschooling family I know has turned their formal dining room into the schoolroom. I guess that's a logical thing to do. We're not HS, and do frequently eat in our dining room, but we also use it as a homework and project room. All that table space is just so inviting!

We live in a very old house (200+ years), so we have a couple of rooms upstairs that probably were used as bedrooms, but aren't considered legal modern bedrooms since they don't have closets. So officially, we have 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths. We have a laundry room, family rooms, formal dining room (and it is seriously formal, but we use it for both eating and homework!). Our kitchen is small and just has a breakfast bar. We have two working fireplaces. Both burn wood. Our floors are painted pine and walnut. One room, the family room, has carpet over the pine because it's warmer.
