Survey #253—Full Response from Anonymous user
| 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 _____.” | On tray tables in the living room. |
| Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.” | In the dining 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? | We rarely have people over but I do have fond memories of the dining area growing up. It was a big room in the center of a large house. We regularly ate in the kitchen so it was mostly just passed through as we went from one area to the next. But for large gatherings, the normally small dining table expanded with 7 leaves fitting about 20 people for parties, holiday meals or baking days. It was also used when my parents held Pinochle parties with room for 4 card tables. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Any suggestions to make a room more inviting? Or questions to ask oneself about avoidance? This survey has made me realize that we are very centralized to the living room and don't really like the dining area or office spaces. |
| Future topics | Keeping focus. |
