A nice picture, taken from an odd angle so that part of the table is visible, mainly the table setting with all brass candlesticks in focus. It’s stylish with grey kitchen cabinets & the neutral background. While the striped table cloth blends in & accentuates the whole.Wide Striped cloth with narrow striped napkins & china with small floral pattern in blue – neat!

I thought that the floor colour in this room were unusual, not something you see everyday. It’s a nice & airy room with a mix of new & old that makes it inviting. The old school chairs & the chubby cabinet combined with a straight, modern white table & ceiling light does the job. It is a place where you can hang out and focus on your company instead of being distracted, which is beneficial at times.

I have been shopping tablecloths for our long table, actually two tables in a row. I have not had time to look over it earlier & it actually does a lot for a homely feeling. We gather for dinner together most days of the week. If not dinner, then at least a breakfast joint. Very important for the family & important for us to connect & catch up with the everyday life.
After a big birthday party for my oldest son, UNi & HSC studies for both – well, I have decided to wait a couple of weeks until they have completed those important & stressful events. It looks very messy but that’s life at times.
Meanwhile, here’s some inspiration that I have found, for you to enjoy.

Food styling should be appealing for the eye. I like the green colour combined with white in circles. Stylish, simple & hopefully tasty too 🙂

The best way ever to entertain, I believe, is to get together over a meal, eat, drink & discuss. The meaning of life, human differences, world history or simple everyday pleasures. Talking points are important but more importantly are the group of people that you surround yourself with. Those who makes the difference – who makes you feel comfortable, feel good & warms you … in body & soul … including the dining area!
Cozy, comfortable, nice, pleasing – things that matters, sometimes more than the food you are served. Environments depends on what you prefer or are used to. It’s rarely about impression, in the true sense. It contributes to the atmosphere, of course. I would lie if i said that space or environment wasn’t important. But the point is that it’s more important with the people participating. The personalities that makes the event. From the topics of discussion, to the life they have lived, their attitude to things. A certain smile, a silence that is pleasant or a constant cackling taking place but that is contagious.
Amidst all this, the common dining area is also part of the whole. That which creates wellbeing, together with the aromas & flavors, lit candles plus mood lighting, AND the music. So, to sum it all up – space, enables the place & the individuals makes the event. I hope this makes sense in english 🙂
