We used to have a TV on that wall, but when we did our
kitchen and family
room floors, we moved the big TV upstairs to the «media
room» (it sounds so fancy when I say that, but really it is just a big bedroom with a TV and a sectional in it
haha).
It is our point of entry from the garage / laundry
room (we never use the front door,
haha) so book bags, shoes, lunch bags, get dropped, homework is done on the
kitchen table, crafts are done there, too, since I'm the one who cooks and need to supervise.
