I saw this new idea posted over at Laura’s blog, The Noodle Incident. She and Jess are co-hosting this fun new photo meme, called “Show Me Yours, and I’ll Show You Mine”. They’ll have a new theme each week. This week’s theme, according to Jess’s website is:
This week is all about the Dining Room Table. Or your Kitchen table. Or your Breakfast Nook Table. Whatever you call it, whether you eat there every day, or its mostly just a household decoration…. Show Me! We wanna see it! What surface in your pad is meant for eating?? Or what do you do with your table?
So, without further ado, here’s my kitchen table. Yes, I cleaned it off before I took the picture. It had one pile of mail and papers and another of coupons and stuff needing to be filed. No – we do NOT eat at this table. We are total couch potatoes during meals – we eat on the couch, with the TV on, with our feet propped on the coffee table. This table is for show and when people come over to eat who do not deign to eat on the couch with us 🙂
(FYI – for those who don’t know, we don’t have kids, it’s just adults here. If we had kids, we’d have the “eat at the table” rule and also probably the “clean your plate before you get up” rule. Unfortunately, we were unable to have children).
I showed you mine, now go on over to Jess’s website and check out the others who are showing your theirs! 🙂
COOL! Seems like everyone is cleaning up for the pics. Guess I’ll do better at it next time….he he he!
And we did the total couch thing TV trays & all, till Sophia arrived. Now we do the “gotta eat at the table & clear you plates thing!” Too funny!
oh. you so need what we have. our coffee table top lifts up closer to the couch for eating!! love love LOVE this feature!!
We totally eat on the couch in front of the TV. We actually don’t even have a dining room table or kitchen table at all. Living in a 1-bedroom apartment has some drawbacks. We do have a couple of card tables that we use for other stuff that we can clear off and use in a jam with company if need be. But usually it’s the crash on the couch/recliner and eat.
I love your napkin rings. I have a thing for napkin rings. Just had a quick second and wanted to say hi. I got here this morning and my patient woke up and it was off to nurse duty 🙂 Very thankful I have a patient to take care of….
Thanks for all the well wishes.
I REALLY like your table. It is so simple and classic. I would like something more like that.
We eat on the couch, too. I can’t fathom eating anywhere else! 😀
