Based in Albuquerque, Burch is a Feng Shui consultant and Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner. Be grateful, be creative, be open!p.s…..having been at many EVENTS, seated at tables of 24 more or less, I don’t covet that.

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? What is more important, square footage or experiences for our children and teaching them the value of generosity and giving? our dining room doubles as the home to 6 bikes. 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. i have been struggling with really experiencing contentment in this very area. Using this guideline, a dining room 10-by-12-feet long accommodates a table 36 to 42 inches wide and 60 to 72 inches long. I’ve done that. Feasting on Life begins the moment we open our door (and hearts) to hospitality, wherever we are. 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.

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! It’ll make a great story later, too.I love this post. Last year, I “encouraged” the menfolk to PUT THE TABLE BACK WHERE IT BELONGS after the meal so we could all sit around a spacious, comfortable living room.I have just discovered your blog Sandy and am truly enjoying every thing you write! The shape of your table, however, can influence your chair and dining table height. 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. I take sitting in chairs balancing a plate over that any day.this is so incredibly good, so timely for me even just this week. My dining room is considered “medium” by architectural standards. My table seats 6-8. 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. )…As of yesterday my sisters and I started discussing the holidays and who’s hosting which day.
My husband and I have been talking about something similar a lot lately as we prepare to buy a new home. right?? 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. And as a guest, feels very stiff and hierarchical. so we’ve been here two months and literally just today i sort of went, OK … what can i do with what i have, to make this space more beautiful? Is our table large enough to seat our guests? When determining dining table size, consider the number of seats at the table, the clearance around the table and the room's proportions.

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. I’ve thought of some people eating in the dining room and some in the kitchen; my sister has done that before, but we all like to be together! 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).

Ouch.

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. Having bigger and more stuff is not what it’s all about…it’s about enjoying what you have and be grateful for that! If I wait until everything is perfect it will never happen. :)But we’ve learned to get creative with the space and Our home is full of love. And then we moved.

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. our house is 2400 square feet and we cant afford to have a “formal” living room and a dining table that seats only 4.I love this. The most important thing is … I'm Sandy—lover of food, family, cooking, THE BIG BOARD, travel, and bringing people together. Keep up the wonderful writing with your blog! our nook is now a small sitting area with a few leather chairs and ottoman and our former living room now holds a table that can seat 10-14. the table is also used for crafts and such for the kids.
. I get SO nervous about having people over and I always stress about everything being perfect before they come. 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. 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. This time I had a separate dining room. 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. I thought it was the most perfect house for our family, and it was. The size of the table is fine but consider painting it white. 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. I'm looking at a new dining room table that measures 96" x 43" (8 ft by 3 1/2 ft).
