How are your table manners? Do you eat from your lap, on the couch, telly on? Or perhaps you eat standing up in the kitchen, as you do other things? Maybe you forget to eat altogether? Or just grab bits and pieces on the run as you remember? OR, perhaps you have lovely manners and you sit at the dinner table, old school style.
But is it really old school?! Isn’t it just the most sensible, social thing to do?! I think it’s the very best thing for digestion, ease of serving, chatter and politeness. But, I must admit, since it’s got Wintery, we eat at our HUGE coffee table in the living room, sitting on cushions and watching The Block or Masterchef. Naughty, I know. But it’s still lovely and social. So it can’t be ALL wrong!
Maybe you’d like to fancy up the table, because you already eat there every night? Or perhaps you would like to return to the table, and you need to make an occasion of it? Whichever it is, I’ve curated some great DIY links, so that you can craft yourself a cuter table. Perhaps if your table is all fancied up with adorable handmade things, you’ll be more likely to hang out there? Let’s give it a go!
Tell me, do you sit up at the table? Or are you a Winter free-styler like me?!
