| 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 the kitchen table! |
| Please complete the following statement: “When I want to entertain guests for a meal, we usually eat _____.” | in the kitchen ...we recently switched the large dining room table to the kitchen and the smaller table to the dining room. I couldn't be bothered bringing all the food, plates, etc. down the hall to the dining room. So we now will have all family gathering meals at the large table, but in the kitchen. The smaller table in the "dining room" has a lovely plant on top which can be easily moved to accommodate a game of cards, puzzles or painting (my husband's beautiful artwork). His painting supplies are on a rolling cart that is kept in the coat closet near 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? | Positive memories of Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas dinners in the dining room...but at my age, it's just easier in the kitchen. |
