Dining Room

Such a Calm Space in Our Cottage

004

The dining room has the least amount of color in our home. It is larger than it appears because the chairs I have chosen are bigger than the average dining chair. I have specifically  chosen to keep it subdued and understated as I like my tablescapes AND my food to take ‘center stage’ when I am entertaining. 

Since we rarely use this room… as we have a full dining table in our family room and  a dining table on the sun porch, (also a kitchen table), we have considered remaking it into something else…don’t know what.  I am glad we have chosen to leave it as it is. There is something so calming about this space. I particularly love the round table…we can add chairs for more people as this round table could easily sit six and up to eight people. There is nothing like a round table for conversation….it is, by far, my favorite kind of dining table.

The space is filled to the brim with natural light which I love. Dining in this room is always cheerful.
