Whether you’ve got a table for 2 or a table for 12, a beautifully decorated dining room invites you, your family, and your guests to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal together.

And it’s a real bonus if your dining room has a fireplace like a couple of the ones I feature here – those lucky homeowners!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Just because Family Day is over (an Ontario holiday), it doesn’t mean that family feasts need to end. Any day is a great day to gather around a gorgeous dining table and share a meal with family and friends. While my cooking skills still need to be refined (I’m working on it – trying out some of my mom’s recipes and putting the Gourmet cookbook to work), I do think that food really does have a way of bringing people together. It’s just a major bonus if your dining room is as inviting as the food you’re serving!

As we head into the weekend I thought I’d leave you with five gorgeous dining rooms. What do you love or loathe in these spaces?

1. I love the long solid table in this room.

2. The white and cane chairs are very cool in this room (but I’m not sure about the sticks lying on the table).

3. The view – nothing beats a beachfront property in my opinion!

4. A table long enough to fit my friends and family – yes please!

5. I love this wide open space although I’d probably paint the wood white (call me crazy!).

Happy weekend!
