Long before the walls came down in American homes the heart of the house was the dining room not the kitchen.

This article explores the loss of the dining room and its impact

To kill the dining room is to design American loneliness, M. Nolan Gray wrote in June. https://theatln.tc/QcE44lJt

“The dining room is the closest thing the American home has to an appendix—a dispensable feature that served some more important function at an earlier stage of architectural evolution,” Gray writes. Classic, walled-off dining rooms now gather dust waiting for the next holiday. Americans have taken to eating in spaces “that double as kitchens or living rooms—a small price to pay for making the most of their square footage.”

But in many new apartments, “eating is relegated to couches and bedrooms, and hosting a meal has become virtually impossible,” Gray writes. “The apex predator of the dining room is the ‘great room’—a combined living room and kitchen, bridged by an open dining space.” And that’s what people want. Surveys from 2015 and 2016 show that “86 percent of households want a combined kitchen and dining room—a preference accommodated by only 75 percent of new homes,” Gray continues. “If anything, the classic dining room isn’t dying fast enough for most people’s taste.”

“The transition from the classic dining room to the great room mirrors the changes in gender norms and family formation that have occurred over the past 125 years,” Gray writes. Sectioned-off rooms “were designed around creating a separate sphere for ‘the help,’” or, when unaffordable, the women in the family.

But now, people are reallocating their limited square footage to maximize personal space—walk-in closets, or bigger bedrooms, especially for those living alone or with roommates. “As households and dining spaces have contracted, the number of people eating alone has grown,” Gray continues. “According to a 2015 report by the Food Marketing Institute, nearly half the time we spend eating is spent in isolation, a central factor in America’s loneliness epidemic and a correlate to a range of physical- and mental-health problems.”

“How many more dinners would be shared if we had the space to host guests?"

Teaching the introduction to real estate this morning with a great class!

Plus I’m reworking my home office and got this great new shelf that I still need to move into but I finally have a space for my Divorce Glow candles. If you book an hour session with me to discuss planning, organizing, reviewing, or responding to a divorce proceeding or if you are post divorce and trying to get a handle on the new flow of life I can work with you on that plus you’ll get to a choice of candle to brighten up your space and remind you that you are meant to shine brightly

All but one of my listings in now under contract.

If you know anyone looking to sell in the state of Connecticut please share my information with them. I am a full-time Realtor with nearly 20 years of experience dedicated to attentive client communications and a deep understanding of changing market trends town-by-town and neighborhood-by-neighborhood.

My attention to market detail and nuances gets homes sold and creates a less stressful experience for home sellers.

While I work with all selling scenarios I am known for my unrivaled experience working with those going through adversarial divorces as well as working with families who need to sell due to the probate process.

My ability to work with multiple out of state sellers, multiple attorneys, various communication requirements due to ongoing court cases, protective orders, restraining orders and other unique situations that would derail most sales has allowed me to grow my business year-over-year based on referrals which is something I am very proud of.

I receive referrals from past clients, other real estate agents who recognize the complexity of a sales transaction and the need for a specialist, real estate attorneys, divorce attorneys, family therapists, and financial advisors.

But not all of my sales are due to such unique or stressful experiences in fact many are what I call "straight sales"; sales with no extenuating court hearings or orders involved. Those clients reap the benefit of my years of experience to keep their sale moving along as simply as possible for them by working behind the scenes with the professional team to get work done while having minimal impact on the clients life and schedule.
