| 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 _____.” | I live alone and eat most of my meals in my recliner while on the computer. |
| Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.” | at the table in my dining area. |
| 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 grew up with the rule that all eating was at the table. My husband always wanted to eat in front of the TV. Now that I live alone, I generally read or am on the computer while eating, but eat at the table when I have guests to talk to. My apartment is simple, so eating at the table just means a few extra steps instead of filling my plate at the stove or counter. |
