Dining rooms are great for this. 

This only works when the size allows, and each house I have done this in, the dining and kitchen were open together.4.

As Amy Wan says so elegantly says... that the Sec giv’em the take em too.

I'm currently doing one house where, while checking a soft spot in the kitchen floor, I discovered the floor joists in the kitchen, dining room, and living room were bad. 

You tell me which one do think will have the best presentation, offer the most enjoyable dining experience and offer the highest quality?
