<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 11224511, member: 4438&quot;]Your dining room set looks great! I’m so glad you can enjoy it!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a formal dining room in my 1929 house. The kitchen has a built in breakfast nook with benches, so we eat most of the meals there. But, the formal dining room is a very special place, and it’s where we entertain and have our special religious holiday dinners etc.&nbsp; I saw a microfilm article from the local paper, that in the 1930s, the daughter of the original owners hosted an engagement party for a friend at the house.&nbsp; The room was designed and built for entertaining.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our dining room set itself is a circa 1920s Jacobean revival. The matching buffet is Bernhardt, but I don’t know if the actual dining room set is. It’s the most gorgeous set of furniture. It’s heavy and is solid wood. It’s been in the family for almost 60 years, gifted to our family by another set of family friends who outgrew it, and wanted something more modern. It’s been used for countless special occasions over the last century. I personally think it looks better now, with the patina of a century of love, than it probably did when it was first made.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know houses are becoming more open concept, and lifestyles are becoming more casual, but I love my formal dining room.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
