In Praise of Real-Life Dining Rooms
“When we are authentic, when we keep our spaces simple, simply beautiful living takes place.”
Alexandra Stoddard (Author & Interior Designer; November 8th, 1941)
“A dining room is a sharing of love and community and my husband and I are committed to make this a reality in a future home.”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 200 to 201 of 501.
