right?? this space feels so much better.I loved this post. sort of becomes a no-brainer at that point.Thanks for taking the time to let me feature you and thanks for putting up with my nagging emails.
I see people moving in to bigger homes that I would like to have, yet they still don’t share their homes with others.This is what I’ve learned, and quite honestly, I’ve had to learn it over and over again.I still think back to my first home with Paul, our square table that seated 4, and when I longed for a “real” dining room. If you have a large, rectangular room, allow a generous clearance of 48 to 54 inches.Jan Burch has written about home, garden, wellness and other topics since 1992. so we flipped our living room and kitchen nook. This time I had a separate dining room. Entertaining is not about us, our family, our plans in life–although most people do converse back and forth–but is about encouraging and connecting with the people seated in our chairs and on our carpets.They don’t crave more and more, but they enjoy what they have.And just like I prayed, when we lived in our first house with that square table, it was about trusting that in due time, that more will come my way.
I thought it was the most perfect house for our family, and it was. It is an honor for us to know them more. Long, narrow dining areas need long, rectangular tables. )…As of yesterday my sisters and I started discussing the holidays and who’s hosting which day. so we flipped our living room and kitchen nook.
The orange hue of the table is a little off but a nice light color would lighten up the feel of the table and you might even like it too. We enjoy our friends when they come to dine with us.I’ve given up on the “large table” dream and have put that energy into other things that really matter. The most important thing is allowing enough clearance to walk around the table while diners are seated at it.Comfortable seating should allow 24 to 28 inches of table edge per seat. We forget this too often and it’s nice to be reminded what is really important.I think there were times I longed for a larger table or larger dining room…now I don’t technically have a dining room but we received a table years ago from friends that is huge. In the next phase of our house we won’t have a dining room but a 9′ island that will function as our “table”.We have a little house and pack people in :) Casual food goes well in casual, eat off your lap settings.It kills me a little when people build GIGANTIC houses and say that they can finally have people over, because they couldn’t before that.This is such an important reminder!
We still don’t have a huge dinner table, you know, the kind that seats 24 (in my dreamworld) :) It seats 6, 8 if we need to, or 10 for really small people.
But then our family grew.
The same room could fit a 48-inch round or square table with room for additional furniture along one of the shorter walls.Keep your table and room proportions similar. we had a square table that could sit 4, but tightly fit 8. i realized that when friends hang out its either in the kitchen or dining area. I’ve been thinking lately about how to get out of our heads the thoughts and worries of “needing everything to be perfect” before we open our homes, and how to replace those thoughts and feelings with love and contentment.When will things be good enough? :)But we’ve learned to get creative with the space and Our home is full of love. Feasting on Life begins the moment we open our door (and hearts) to hospitality, wherever we are. If I wait until everything is perfect it will never happen.
That said, what we’d really like to have vs. what will actually function well in the space, might be too different things.
we also have a kitchen island that seats 3. we felt that we didnt need two living rooms (one is downstairs) and the former living room was a waste of space since there is no tv. i have been struggling with really experiencing contentment in this very area. The shape of your table, however, can influence your chair and dining table height. Round tables up to 60 inches can seat four -- or six if the larger table has a pedestal base.While recommendations vary, a clearance of 36 to 42 inches from table edge to a wall or other furniture allows adequate space for seating plus a walkway behind the diners.
What is more important, square footage or experiences for our children and teaching them the value of generosity and giving? I get SO nervous about having people over and I always stress about everything being perfect before they come. Now, with the thought of a Christmas tree in the living room as well as a 17 seat table, I’m a bit ooogey already!
We’re just trying to embrace our current lack of space; we entertain a lot and it’s never caused someone to eat less or enjoy their time less! Standard dining table heights range from 28 to 30 inches (71–76cm), which should be matched with a chair height of 18 to 23 inches (46–58cm, from floor to seat top), benches or stools.
And then we moved. Based in Albuquerque, Burch is a Feng Shui consultant and Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner. It was perfect. It’ll make a great story later, too.I love this post. We were looking at one price range, but then we talked about all the other things we want including private school education for our kids, travel, and being able to extend kindness through giving. A place where I could entertain just like my mom did. You’re awesome Sandy!Very timely indeed, Sandy! The showroom can help you determine the size of dining table you would like, based on the number of people you’d like to seat (though there are charts with this information readily available on the internet).
It can be small to seat 6 or expand with several leaves to seat 10-12 which I love. Her articles have appeared in ByLine, Living Natural and New Mexico Woman.
