Dining Bliss

I simply can not believe that next week is Thanksgiving. I am sure that our years are getting shorter some how. I just adore the holidays. Really I adore any time that food brings people together and when family and friends have to cram around dining room tables, because there is simply never enough room. The laughter and joy that occurs during these times is absolutely divine. I think any one of these dining spaces could do...

A formal and dark space would make any meal time instantly intimate.  A simple centerpiece adds a pop of color without being over the top.

This space would have absolutely no problem fitting a hoard of people. Of course the people on the end would have to be in charge of keeping plates piled high and glasses full.

Maybe your holidays are simply for two love birds or a kid table may be in order. This one could add style to any space and look much better than an average card table with metal folding chairs.

For those of you who are blessed with gorgeous weather could have an outdoor feast. I know this would make me insanely happy.

A space like this could make a meal with your own small family feel extra lovely. I could easily see myself spending hours here just chatting away.

A dining room like this is made for a holiday gathering where family and friends come from a far. I think with more chairs 16 could fit around this grand table. Bumping elbows would never feel so good.

How are your holidays spent? Every year we go to my parents for Thanksgiving and this year my mother handed Christmas over to me. I could not be any more excited and nervous at the same time!
