This is my dining room right now.. I love the simplicity of the dining table still.. I've had it for 6 years now.. there is a middle extension so it works for up to 6 or 8 at a squeeze.
The room is kind of bigger than it needs to be so i've always had it in the back of my mind to do a built in on that back wall..

With the baby coming in October, there are some changes I'm ready to make as I've mentioned.. so my fourth bedroom that is now a guest room will become the baby room then I will transform my basement office into the guest room.. then I would turn my wet bar area in my living room into my office and finally turn this wall into a banquet and storage for everything from the wet bar.. see makes perfect sense right? LOL
You'll get it once i start doing it.
