Whatever happened to that special place not only for eating, but for guests in your house to "ooh" and "aah" about? I always thought it was another focal point of the home for decoration and family together time.
Is it too much to ask these days to have a formal dining room!? What do you think? Do you have one? Do you use it? Do you find them pointless? What's your take on the matter.
But, either way, to get you BACK in the mood for some wicked awesome dining space, check out these examples...aren't they gorgeous!?
I love the detail in the chairs...
...that chandalier rules...and uh...a fireplace...ROCK.
The high ceilings are my favorite in this photo...
...a little too much blue for me, but still very fancy.
And finally, simple and elegant. I like!
And what about a hutch!? Are these considered antique now? I was blessed to have worked with a woman who's elderly mother was trying to get rid of hers, so she GAVE hers to me. I was extremely lucky. This hutch is ok...
...but this is more my taste. And yes, we have our china and other glass ornaments on display for guests to see.
About two years ago, the hubby and I re-upholstered the chairs to a more elegant fabric. They were horrid before, to say the least!
Now remember, I'm in an apartment, so space is limited, but this is our tiny dining room. I can't wait to be in a single family home and have a full on ROOM with this furniture! :)
What's your dining room like?And finally...great news, Kris Allen came out with his first single from his new album. Check it out. It's definitely not the style I expected from him...what do you think?
You can read about what he thinks of his new single here.
I'm off to enjoy chicken and pasta, folks! If you want some fantastic menu ideas for a week's worth of family dinners, read Two Hearts Together!
Later!

I love the first and second living room, and yours looks great too!
I miss the dining room. And I was very disappointed to find that most homes don't have them anymore. Our house doesn't have one and it was a bit of a let down. However, due to the way the home has opened up, there are a lot of new ways that can be explored to show your style and class. So 6 one way, half a dozen the other. What to do what to do....
Thanks for the link up!
Those living rooms are to die for, someday I say...someday.
Enjoy your evening with your yummy supper :)
I love the blue dining room! Thanks for stopping by my blog :)
We just bought our house almost two years ago and I couldn't believe all of the new homes with out the dinning room. We ended up getting a house with out one because I thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal to live with out it, but I so wish I would have found a house with one! Next house will for sure have one!
Good feature! Dining Room Furniture looks fantastic.
CUTE dining rooms! I'm in a one bedroom apartment, too, so I know how ya feel! (-: Thanks for visiting my site! I'll keep you in mind when I ever do a fancy blog! (-:

I love the chairs in the first, and I do love the blue! I wouldn't buy a house without a dining room! How do you celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving without a dining room? How do you host Mother of the Groom Luncheons, birthday luncheons, Friday Night Dinner Nights with your friends?
I have one not really formal i guess...we sometimes use it on a daily basis to eat there ourselves :) but for the past 8 mnths we ate in the kitchen ...after our son was born!
