What do people do about less formal gatherings? We do a lot of
entertaining in our (large) house right now, and I'd think that lots of
that would take place in the common house when we have less private space.

I was thinking that it would be that any family could use the space unless
it was scheduled out - is that what groups are doing?

Curious,
