Family Dinners

Life is hectic.

I don't know about you, but family dinner time is a monumental feat.  Providing a meal that everyone enjoys and getting it on the table around everyone's schedule is somewhat grueling.  However overwhelming it may seem,  dinner time together is important.  Even if it's sandwiches or takeout,  we need to all sit down and connect.

The New Formal:  Casual and Elegant

Because life is becoming evermore hectic and casual,  the formal dining room is becoming extinct in homes today.  The bare feet casual part of me says, "Yea!"  The traditional part of me cries a little and says "bring back Sunday suppers on Wedgewood plates and Waterford crystal!".  The happy medium is having a place where family and guests can gather for a meal and feel comfortable.  This dining room speaks volumes on casual elegance.  So,  if you are still holding on to only using your dining room for special occasions,  tone down the formality and give it a casual vibe so that you can enjoy it for more than twice a year.  Families:  Come together and eat!!
