Blue and white dining room

I have maximized the space given in this dining room area , instead of cramming a big hutch and buffet into this room , I have filled the space with a long harvest table and 6 chairs . Lets face it when we use the formal or semi-formal dining room like this it is for family gatherings, not for every day , that tells me it is more important to seat many people .Keeping the dining area free for just seating allows for maximum capacity. So check your space , is it under 12x8 you may consider re-locating your hutch and buffet to another space in the house , re-purpose.
