Dining Room

A quick teaser this afternoon with CSN.  I want to talk about dining room furniture - it makes the room.  When we were house-hunting a couple of years ago, I knew I wanted a home with a separate dining room - I just love the feel of having a fancier room.  Not that we use ours much, but I still love having it.  Just last night I hosted a bridal shower and used that room.  (More about the shower to come - it all came together great!)

Back to dining room furniture - have you seen Dining Rooms Direct.com?  They are part of the CSN family (you know, the 200+ websites that have anything you could dream of...)

I love the look of clean lines but formal and am drawn to sets like these:

Or how about a round look:

Or if you don't have a dining room and you're just looking to make a great space in your kitchen, I've loved these corner sets:

So head over and check out Dining Rooms Direct - free shipping on just about anything (perfect for these huge items) and several come with free set up and delivery - even better!

It seems like everyone has a strong opinion on the dining room - either love or hate.  What about you?  I enjoy mine, but are you against them?  I saw on a blog a few weeks ago (here) where someone turned their dining room into a mud room - the space looks great, I just don't think I could do it - where are you going to eat big family dinners?  But it works for her.  Anyways, thoughts on the dining room issue??
