Le salon is a new one!

Who on earth calls it a withdrawing room?

[tenrec]

Sitting room or living room. At my last house I had a "snug" which was a second living/sitting room.

[sherrardk]

Isn't 'withdrawing' something to do with when the men of the house would bugg off to smoke cigars they would 'withdraw'?

[jackthehat]

We have a larger Sitting Room and a smaller back-sitting room.

We call them 'Living Room' and 'Snug' to save confusion.

[friedgreentomato]

All of the above depending whom I am speaking to

[friedgreentomato]

Oh and drawing room as we still have the old servant bell system in place and that one comes up as the drawing room

[Bluestone]

Do you think it differs on which part of the country people live in?

[Sqad]

sherrardk..........interesting........I thought it was the wives that "withdrew" leaving the men to their stories and cigars.

I still remember fondly those days.

[sherrardk]

Sqad - something to do with some withdrawing (might have been the women).

Oh and drawing room as we still have the old servant bell system in place and that one comes up as the drawing room

Wow! Is that like the little lights, or actual individual bells next to each room name?
