Adding Character


How often do you use your dining room? Three times a year maybe? We spend lots of money on china and silver that sit in a cabinet the other 362 days. Not to mention the cost of the furniture that always looks like it was just delivered new from the store. Then you have the decor. Lamps and florals, art and rugs...

Now ask us ladies to do without our dining rooms and you would think that we were asked to give up our first born! So, the givens are: we will not do without a dining room in our homes and it is going to cost money to properly outfit it. When it comes to decorating it Murals & Design is quite capable and happy to help you, as seen with our dining room from the Grand Tour of Homes in today's post. But pushing my services is not the real reason for the blog today. I want to persuade you (and me included) to rethink the use of our beloved "museum like" dining rooms. Sure we want guests to feel special when they come for Easter dinner, but what about those that you prepare meals for everyday? They should be the most important "guests" that you will ever entertain. How about at least one day a week, bring "your" little family to the "special place" and show them how important they are to you. It's also a great time to create memories, teach etiquette and respect for fine things, even if you are only serving hot dogs! And you know what? It's OK if your two year old "accidentally" pounds his fork on the cherry wood table. It adds CHARACTER!!!


That's all for now but as always...

Have a colorful day!
