Is the family room the same as the den?

[mamaofficer]

I am adding a den, and making my previous den a dining room. And I was just wondering.

I am not sure, I have always called our family room our living room.

they were two seperate rooms in my childhood home. the den was like an office

I don't view the family room as the den - den reminds me of a library or office.

Our den/ living room is the same :/

I agree, I think that a den is more like an office. But our family room has a desk (will have two after we are done) so I guess it could be both.
