Dining Room Dilemmas
As a family of six, we actually USE our formal dining room to eat. Although some nights it does need unburied it from the days accumulation of homework, books, and random things people have set down!
If you don't have a formal dining room, use this week to concentrate on your kitchen table. However, if you DO have a dining room and don't use it..ask yourself "why?" Maybe you would love to start having family dinners (or maybe romantic date-nights?) if you could only get it cleaned up..or maybe eating at a big table just doesn't fit into your lifestyle! I'm going to let you in on a little decorating secret...it doesn't HAVE to be a dining room just because that's what the architect called it! What would you use that space for? It's YOUR house. You should use the space how you want to.
If keeping it from being a dumping ground is the problem; make a date with yourself to clean it off. Talk to your family members about your desire to keep the table clean. Keep a large centerpiece on the table to make it look pretty and discourage clutter.
