Condo: Dining room
After looking for most of a year we had conceded we would have to forego a dining room in most of the affordable high rise condo options. This was hard because we love to entertain for dinner. Then, when we got the opportunity to get the two units, we stole the largest space (the entire living space in the two bedroom) for our dining room. We had “aged” the combined units enough that our antique dinning room furniture seemed to fit and with the kitchen seating adjacent to the dining room we can still have 20 for Thanksgiving.
