Survey #253—Full Response from Lynn
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Which of the following statements describe your living situation with respect to a dining room and dining-room furniture? |
|
| Please complete the following statement: “Members of my household and I eat most of our meals _____.” | In my recliner, mostly with music, not tv shows as atmosphere |
| Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.” | Guests? I used to have dinner guests in the form of a dinner party, but it was never reciprocated so I stopped. Now it is just informal meals with one or two friends. The dinner parties were at my dining table. The informal meals are in my livingroom around a large ottoman. |
| What feelings or memories—positive, negative, or in-between—does the phrase “dining room” evoke for you? How have your attitudes, beliefs, or practices around dining and entertaining changed over time? What impact, if any, do dining and entertaining have on the clutter in your space? | Having people over gives that extra incentive to pay attention to the corner areas that sometimes get neglected. I used to have regular dinner parties with friends, but noticed it was rarely reciprocated so stopped the extra effort for group parties and formal meals and just do smaller informal meals with those closest to me. |
| Future topics | Strategies for keeping maintenance of open concept homes from being overwhelming. |
