PronounsShe/her
Which of the following statements describe your living situation with respect to a dining room and dining-room furniture?
  • My home doesn’t include a formal dining room.
  • My home wasn’t designed to include a dining area, but I/we have set up an eating area in the space.
Please complete the following statement: “Members of my household and I eat most of our meals _____.”Most of the time we eat in the kitchen. We use our dining table about 3 nights a week, usually on weekends.
Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.”When we have guests, we eat at the dining table in the living room.
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 had a table designed for our space: long and oval with extra sections to make it longer if needed. We have had great feasts and great times at the table. Once we were 12 people at a table that normally can accomodate 8.
I keep that table as free from clutter as possible. It does get cluttered if one of us is using it for work.
