Yesterday we looked at the #operationbachelorpad Living Room, which is basically a TV watching area.  Today we see the dining, bar and den area, which is basically for eating, drinking, and lounging.  My favorite activities.  All of the areas are pretty much one big room, with the den being a nook to itself, but Matt [...]
