Survey #253—Full Response from Debra
| 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 _____.” | At my kitchen table |
| Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.” | At my kitchen table |
| 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? | I can seat 8 at my kitchen table, and entertain often. I have opted for this very old rustic farm table instead of having any sort of living room since meals with friends are more important to me than lounging in front of a TV. I don’t think the experience could be better with a designated, separate dining room—even if I had one. I grew up with a large dining room where we ate every meal—but it was a very large house from 1875 and the dining room was gorgeous. I would cheerfully have a proper dining room if it were the one I grew up with. |
