The cat gets on your table??

My "dining room" has a pool table in it. We have a kitchen table in the back room that we keep with placemats when we eat there. More often we use that table to play scrabble and have wine and cheese. Nothing fancy in this house.

I only have pretty placemats and a centerpiece on my dining room table. Actually in my townhouse my dining room is open to the living room so it's where we always eat. I have a very small hightop table set in my very small kitchen. We never eat there, I sit there at times to use the laptop or write in my calendar, things like that. If I am having dinner guests I do preset the table before they arrive, as it does make a nice presentation.

I'd be picking everything up off the floor as my cat Callie loves to knock things off a table. The silverware would be nicely scattered by her.

You're my kind of people. When my DD and SIL lived with me awhile after they married and I needed new LR furniture we got a pool table instead! I have a family room and formal dining room so rarely used the LR. It was great and a gathering place for fun with friends.

I've always said a home should fit the people living there and change as the family grows and changes. Mine certainly has, pool table gone and "real furniture" moved in.

I do not see the point. Makes no sense to me. My table has candlesticks and fresh flowers in the center of the table. I keep fresh flowers all through out my home.

No, I don't. I might like whiskey in my water and sugar in my tea, but I don't like dust in my plates. 🎵🎶

Same with us. We sold the pool table and bar earlier this year and moved in some southwestern furniture. We still don't have a dining room per se but a good sized living room instead. We would never make use of a fancy eatin room like granny Clampett would say.
